I noticed the terms of service now state you must be 13 to be on the forums. I know they used to say 18 because underage people were told to come back when they were older.
Anyway, it is one thing to keep track of who is 18 or older out in the regular forums. A completely different thing to keep track of it in here. Why do I bring this up? Because sexual topics are often discussed. I used to belong to another board and whenever someone underage asked anything even remotely sexual, they were told to go to the teen sexuality board as it was inappropriate for adults to be advising them on such matters.
I know this is just an example, but in another thread here where it is anonymous, someone advises the OP to get a sexual toy. Wouldn't you feel weird if later you found out the OP was under 18? That you told an underage person to get a sex toy?
I feel like I'm going to have to label all of my posts even remotely dealing with sex as "under 18 need not respond" and anytime I see a post about sex I'll have to ask the OP if they are 18 yet.
Just my feelings on the topic.
