I'm gonna put my White logic hat on here for a second. For me, it boils down to a sort of pros and cons list. On one hand, we have the stance to let minors join. That exposes them to an adult culture. Older members need to censor themselves and might feel uncomfortable because of it. Minors...

If you're going based on the idea that the required age to join the site is directly related to the average age of the existing membership, that absolutely holds true. I get what you're saying. However, somewhere in the history of our species, we picked 18 as the magical age when a child...

If it wasn't clear in my post, my reference to people going wild and flinging porn all over Discord was hyperbole, not something I would actually expect to happen. There is plenty of adult content and topics that have nothing to do with that. The point that I was making was that some rules for...

I can't say for sure because I'm not in the know here, but I would imagine that the increase to 18+ is for liability reasons, and for all the other reasons listed here, to protect the site and to protect younger members. But that doesn't mean that it's okay to just be showing p*rn in all the...

First, I just want to say that I am loving this display of clearing up a misunderstanding. I love that for us. Also. This. I know the rule change is more specifically to protect minors, but someone doesn't have to be a minor to get harassed, and sometimes it's still hard to report...

We've already made changes that require members to be 18 to move from Novice/Recruit to Accepted/Soldier rank as seen here: https://www.tarvalon.net/index.php?threads/updated-raising-requirements.50349/ So the way I see it, we already require most of our membership to be at least 18. Only...

I think that would be problematic in its own way. Would you join a forum where your welcome message included "if anyone tries to behave inappropriately toward you...?" That makes it sound like it's a huge probability, especially if it's not in line with the rest of the welcome message. "Here's...

For my part, at least, there's a big difference between asking a current member to leave because of their age (which the site isn't doing) and telling a potential new member that they're too young and have to wait a couple of years before they're allowed to join. "Current members" are being...

Fully support this update, and I'm mildly confused by those who are against it. I get what you're saying, Elanda. I don't like victim blaming as much as anyone else. But given what Rhed said, which is 100% true (Rhed quoted for posterity), what's the alternative? If this doesn't work for...
