I don't think we should ever support or make excuses for child solicitation, even in jest. A friendly reminder in many cases is enough. But to some, it won't be. That is where someone needs to step in, be it internal or law enforcement. I am in support of either or both. I'm all for fun as long as it is not carried to excess.
Someone made a statement to one of the n00b's on the site in another thread.
Presuming that the n00b in question lives in a jurisdiction that has adopted the internet predator law and that the person making the statement was 18 or over then the statement constitutes a criminal act punishable by fines and/or imprisonment.
Now, I doubt that anyone woul ...[text shortened]... to note that it may be a criminal act.
Of course, others will say it's just good clean fun.

Originally posted by SunburntI was getting intoxicated as I spoke to "her". She asked about the drug I was using and wondered if she should try it, and I told her the truth - it was an extremely powerful, dangerous and illegal drug, and I didn't recommend she ever experiment with it without extensive research and knowing the risks.
How did you know it was a sting?
Eventually after much persistance she was able to coax me to come see her after I was trashed, though even then I said I wasn't coming to have sex with her, though she had tempted my addled brain into thinking we were going to make out or something. Then she refused, which confused me, but I didn't care. She said "I think you're a good guy" and then stopped talking to me.

Originally posted by cashthetrashUnfortunately, I don't think we will get help from law enforcement or from RHP. If RHP were to set up a system that tried to protect underage participants from advances of this nature, it might create a duty that would expose the site to greater liability if something were to happen.

In a recent lawsuit involving the rape of a 13 year old girl, the lower court dismissed a civil action against myspace that alleged in part that "myspace.com has created a sexual playground for child predators," on the grounds that myspace has no affirmative duty to verify the age of participants on the site.
I think it is up to the community and the individuals on this site to police themselves. I think we just need to keep this issue out there and remind people that while we all want to have fun, certain behaviour is not appropriate.
