There's no such offense as "showing porn to minors". And even if, unless the police in your area were the ones issuing the warning, you've got nothing to worry about.
They're either idiots or are trolling you.
There is, actually.
But the chances of them actually doing anything due to the way ISP's and IP's work is very slim. About as likely as getting caught pirating and punished for that.

Even on the internet? lolwow.
I can kind of understand in real life, but you may as-well punish every single person who has ever published or posted adult content on the internet in that case.

It's only legal with the warnings that ask people to leave if they aren't 18 or of legal viewing age of explicit pornography, yadda yadda in their area.

Well, once you consent that you are of age, it waves them any legal obligations to restrict their material to protect you based upon your age. If you lied, then it isn't
their fault a minor got ahold of porn. It's the minor's, because they gave a false consent.
That's basically the jist of the legal premise.
I think it's fine, really. Whatever.

Oh, I'm not talking about preventing legal issues on the websites side, I just mean it's pretty silly to have on situation where the kid lies about their age but can see porn without it being the fault of the poster/website/whoever, but posting a picture with adult content on a site without an 18+ warning is against the law.
If it was a site like club penguin I can understand, but from what I see he was only warning, not banned, implying either 1) the staff sucks or 2) it isn't against the rules.

I just looked into it.
Its basically a gaiaonline?
It's a crappier, 2D version of Second Life.
User-created stuff for sale and you can convert the virtual currency to USD, but everyone who plays the game is a penniless little child so it's much harder than selling stuff in SL.

SL is itself a crappier, 3D version of real life.

So basically, you acted like a complete moron, got busted and are now freaking out. Well, I can't say I feel bad for you. As for your concerns...
Yes, you can get in trouble. As posted already, showing porn to kids is illegal in some places. Also, in some countries, hentai is considered child pornography if the cartoons look like children. I'm not really sure about the specifics with how that's determined. Given this, if the people in charge of the game report your IP and account info like email, timestamps, etc to the police, the police can then find you/your parents through your ISP. And it would be taken more seriously than you getting caught torrenting whatever.
If you were caught torrenting, a common defence would be that it wasn't really your doing, with the IP alone being insufficient evidence. For example, your WiFi network was insecure, and some random person used it to download through your connection, etc. But that defence wouldn't work in your case.
So it all comes down to whether or not the people in charge of the game care enough about the incident to do something about it.
PS. I think you should cut down on calling them idiots and stuff. They weren't the ones who did something stupid here.

No duh, I don't think they will call the police anyway, i told them about the misunderstanding.

It was a player named applejack who told me this might happen, I dunno if they were trolling or not.

Didn't say anything at all about it in the guidlines.
