It is directed at a few people to be honest, in both aspects of U18s and U18 chasers. So yes those who have been here can assume who I am talking about, proving that I am not the only one that has seen it. If you have guesses then okay, but I not saying names because I have no authority to. This also can be broadened to members who have been here for awhile that are 18+ and are starting relations with those U18.

Places like collarme are INSANE. The creepy messages girls get on here are not one tenth as horrible or in the same amount recievd as there. Amazingly, I view s/m as much safer and more beginer orientated on here than there.

I agree, they should be able to get educated, not actually participate but be able to get information here and learn so they don't run off to another site and end up getting raped.

Also makes it easier to identify and report rule breaking of all sorts.
It isn't a very complex thing to change, I don't think and there is just too much reason why not to change it at this point.

I agree completely with this, but people will still lie signing up, a little harder approach if they choose to hide age then still have U18 on their profile if they are.

If you ask me, that's just begging for them to find a way around the rules. You don't want anything worse than when you can't have it.

This is and extension of a point I was making, if you are going to do it do all or nothing. Yes this is the middle ground, but seeing makes you want it more.

This has been brought up several times and it always seems to fall down to people already have ads here, are already signed up here, etc. Plus at the point if those people leave what does getDare really have left? Those 18+ that are here for TorD. A little difficult to just say oh you can register at 13 again, most of them have left and boycotted.

This is completely true, aside from the responsibility, it is still by law getDare's responsibility because it is in their "house," if they do not take appropriate steps to "protect" minors they are still at fault. It is a simple as no if ands of butts, if someone U18 does something involving s/M 7 day ban, if they do it again, permaban. This is being said with the current rules of course. This also goes for those 18+ doing things with those U18, if the U18 asks for it and the 18+ goes with it both should be banned. Now if the U18 has their age hidden the 18+ should be warned maybe some form of temp ban, as well as the U18 being banned. Personally with as big of a problem as it is maybe instant perma-bans are needed.
On a side note, there should be some form of way for users to plead their case if they are banned, lets say a 18+ get banned for doing things with those under 18, but the user had their age blocked, is there currently a way to point this out to mods without having to make a new account?
