I had a partial point to this but no point in pointing fingers and such.

This makes no sense at technically ALL AGES can READ over 18 material. People DO NOT even require to be a member to read. eg) A 7 year old COULD read about S/M if they wished, However ONLY users over the age of 18 with an Account at present can comment.

PS: When was the last time you saw an UNDER 18 moderator Posting a Comment on a SM Thread etc.

Like the parents that don't talk about sex and now have a prego 16 year old with aids.(I hope that hasn't happened...)

Therefore the above is already optional

Agree that it probably won't stop people, however they will then have no excuse about not realising the users age

Also the method in which bans are carried out is very fair and strict. It is probably not like a lot of people believe, and was pleasently shocked by the method of fairness etc

If they fail, well, then their ban is extended, and they can try again another time, if they fail 3 times, it should be a perma-ban, because obviously they aren't reading the rules.

Just my 2 cents!

I liked this idea at first, but can see some complications

eg) When somone doesnt pass the exam (so to speak) they instantly go and make a seperate account, and try again when next possible.

Therefore i can't see this hapening, however i AGREE that there are a lot of people who have never read the rules and plenty that couldn't even find them if asked

Finishing on a positive - I like this idea, may have to re-design slightly (if somone is away etc)

But in chat it could work in the box you open to whisper to the user etc Therefore always there, even if marked as away. Probably not do the coloured dot, as this may effect the way some people chat to someone, and may get complicated etc.

JUST MY PERSONAL VIEWS AT ALMOST MIDNIGHT

Appologies late - may be poorly written
