Proposed New Rule | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Given the expansive amount of adult material that is allowed in RP forums as well as the seemingly adult content that is part of the main game, it seems only logical that a rule be added restricting users under the age of 18, or the age of majority in their country.
This will help indemnify Crotch Zombie of any wrong doing when younger posters arrive and will bumist moderators in banning individuals who claim to be underage. In much the same fashion as pretending to be someone who is permabanned will get you banned, so should claiming to be underage get you banned if this rule were to go into effect. |

I brought this up to ET a long time ago. He wasn’t concerned about it at the time. I don’t know if things changed. |

While Fran’s thread was in GRP, it raised a good point. If 16 year olds continuously post nudes in RP then before long we are talking about federal trouble. Not to mention it might be nice to add a caveat to the rule that bans those who support or advocate loli or pedophilia. Xylon edited this message on 01/14/2009 1:20PM |

I think this is a definite must. Taking deviantART as an example, you must be 13 or older to register, but explicit adult content is tagged and limited only to those 18 and up. |

Nah, just put a disclaimer that you must be 18 to enter if you ever do anything. Therefore the kids can technically still play, you get monies from them, and the only time you really have to ban them is when they admit they are under 18. |

We discussed this one night in IDC not too long ago. ABSOLUTELY this site, or at least certain portions of it, need to be restricted to “adults” (and I use that term loosely) only. Credit card verification will help cut down on the number of underage players who manage to sneak in, and those who do get past that age verification system will likely NOT do stupid **** (like post noodz of their underage selves) to draw attention to themselves.
I support and sign this petition. If it’s a petition, that is. |

Agreeing with everything pointed in this thread.
Except credit card verification. That’s a bit much. OP hit the nail on the head imo. |

Why restrict it? If the people don’t want to see this **** then they can simply not look. Sure you can worry about people posting underage pictures but why should everyone suffer for it?(Not speaking all of FWZ.) Plus the CC verfication will only complicate things and not that hard to get by.(lololol I took parents CC and now I enter it! I so smart and over 18!) IMO it might drive people away finding out to get the full experiance of FWZ they have to enter personal information. |

To just say “by entering this game you agree you are 18 and legal to view naughty images and humour” so that they have a fallback when the fbi busts down ET’s door over patch’s dirty pictures
anyone can agree to it, but they are the ones at legal fault when they aren’t actually legal age TUBSWEETIE edited this message on 01/14/2009 1:45PM |

100% signed. Forumwarz.com is a website that is obviously not suited for minors, so it would prevent Evil Trout from a lot of trouble to make people confirm that they’re full-aged when they signed up. It’s not even important if they really are full-aged or not, it’s all about legal issues here. |

Next time everyone signs in they will be brought to a “I agree I’m 18+” page. CrinkzPipe edited this message on 01/14/2009 2:01PM |

Yeah, especially in US law, which can pursue a canadian prosecution through channels, a qualifier saying you are 18 will reduce alot of liability. |

Yeah, I was kind of amazed when I realized under 18’s were even allowed here. I’m agreeing with Fran’s original petition (unban Hobo! ban Patch!), but you really should at least be smart enough to cover your bum. Definitely ban forever anyone who posts an under 18 nude of themselves and then report them to the authorities so they can get arrested for CP possession. Log in to see images! |

I oppose the idea, since I don’t see anything that should be considered 18+ anywhere but flamebate, in some people’s sigs, I guess, but even that’s not too bad.
I don’t mind a 18+ admission for Flamebate, but don’t make the actual site 18+.
As for posting CP, as long as a 18+ for Flamebate was there, it wouldn’t be a problem. |
