==Online safety features== [[Image:TTSpeedChat.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Toontown players communicating using SpeedChat.]] Since this is an online world where kids and adults interact, Disney implemented several unique features in Toontown to keep children safe from inappropriate conversations or behavior. First and foremost, there is open [[Online chat|chat]] implanted in the game, called SpeedChat Plus, restricted to only pre-approved words from a dictionary. Everyone who has Speedchat Plus activated is able to see what was typed. If a player types a word that is not in the dictionary, it is italicized (and shows up in red in the chat window) and the player must select a replacement. If it is entered anyway, it shows as an animal noise to non-true friends, and will or will not show to true friends depending if it is vulgar or not. Parents have the ability to restrict the True Friends or Speedchat Plus capability of their children's toons via a set of [[parental controls]]. The players who don't enable SpeedChat Plus communicate with each other entirely via "SpeedChat" β a pre-defined, safe list of phrases that are accessed via a series of drop-down menus. The menus are designed to cover most communication needs (plus several silly phrases), but players can add additional SpeedChat phrases to their menu by purchasing them from the Cattlelog. There are also House Rules applying to type chat. Any infraction or violation could result in a possible termination or suspension of services, or simply a warning. This can be also caused with the proper use of the report button. Toontown also has an ignore button and any false reports might result in an account hold or service interruption. To communicate beyond the restrictions of SpeedChat, there is "True Friends" chat. If two or more players already know each other outside the game world (e.g. real-life friends, relatives, or online friends from another game or website), they can become True Friends with each other after completing a one-time process involving a six-digit secret code always starting with TT. True Friends can communicate with each other in Toontown via a free-form chat window. These messages are automatically filtered to remove vulgar language and other words that Disney has deemed inappropriate, as well as place names such as states. Furthermore, these chat messages are viewable only by players who are True Friends with the message sender; other nearby players see these messages as gibberish animal sounds (barking, meowing, etc.). A "Friends List" is provided in the game which allows a player to track the status of his True and non-True friends, up to a maximum of fifty. Naming a Toon is also controlled to prevent names that contain inappropriate language or real-life personal details (such as age and hometown). Most players use the built-in Toon name generator, which allows them to construct a name by clicking on one or more pre-approved "toony" words ("Super Pinky", "Princess Rainbow Twinkletoon", "Sir Funnymonkey", "Super Skids Fizzlefink", "Crazy Z.Z. Electroslam", "Fat Fireball", "Silly Scooter", etc.). If a player chooses to submit a custom name, they must wait for someone at Disney to approve it. Custom names that are rejected will sometimes be approved if they are tried again. Names are not unique; multiple Toons can have the same name. In keeping with the friendly, cooperative spirit of ''Toontown'', the game designers intentionally left out some of the less-friendly features that are sometimes found in other [[MMORPG]]s.<ref name="acm"/> For example, Toontown contains no [[Player versus player|PVP]] battles, hence one player cannot "kill" another. Players are also unable to sell or trade items with other players; however, players can purchase gifts for other players through the Cattlelog. As with any multiplayer game, certain actions can be considered [[Griefer|annoying]] or otherwise unwanted. Toontown also has a certain section of words for toons acting inappropriately, such as "You stink!", "Stop that!" and "Don't be mean!". Speed Chat Plus (SC+) is a new feature that replaces the traditional Speed Chat. With generic Speed Chat, a player could only use a limited number of phrases. With Speed Chat Plus, the player can use all words in the Toontown-approved "dictionary". This allows players to form logical sentences, while prohibiting words that aren't approved by Toontown. Such words include those which are derogatory (i.e. profanity), most numbers (to keep in line with Toontown's policy of protecting children from predators by making it difficult to exchange personal information), and various other words that Toontown feels are either negative or allow the exchanging of personal information. Words that are prohibited are displayed in red or italics (depending on whether the toon has any True Friends) while typing, to remind the player that that word can not be used. However, players sometimes avoid these restraints by substituting words for prohibited words. For example, the number one can be said as "won", the number two could be said as "too", and so on. Players can still have "True Friends" and use any words or numbers in conversations with each other (however, these conversations are also often monitored by Disney employees).
