Abstract: The present invention discloses a computer system within a computer network having multiple computers connected together using telecommunications mechanisms for graphically interacting within immersive online communities. A user selects a set of desired characteristics associated with a personality for creation of a first intelligent virtual object. The first intelligent virtual object interacts with other intelligent virtual objects within the immersive online community utilizing predetermined interface tools such that said other intelligent virtual objects receive real-time responses to stimuli initiated by said other intelligent virtual objects. The first intelligent virtual object interactively passes user generated content between said other intelligent virtual objects and said user under administrative controls.

Abstract: A system and method of maintaining community safety standards within an Internet community. A balance is achieved between open communication and costly supervision of an immersive online community by use of automated algorithms, human supervision and peer monitoring. An automated filtering process is used in conjunction with an evaluation and penalty process. The filter is enhanced over time. A peer-to-peer control and peer-to-administrator reporting scheme complete the system and methods to synergistically to maintain safety and set standards within the community.
