It matters to me very much, because, by law, if I were to cam or swap pics with someone under 18 - even if I believed them to be 18+ because they'd lied and looked mature - I could get in serious trouble.

I think it's a shame that getDare doesn't see that as a clear black-and-white issue - the slave/master ads board is overtly sexual and is advertising for actual interactions between people. I've used this site for years but only ever that board because I was uncomfortable with there being underage people in the other forums, and I thought that board was strictly 18+.

I'm 30 but I have been in this scene since I was 15 or 16 - back then it was AOL or Yahoo! chatrooms. It's how I discovered kink. So I do have some sympathy. But for the protection of both sides - over- and under-18s - it should be a very clear rule for that forum. It's surely very simple.
