    This is a problem on the internet as a whole but I'm against this as a solution. Service should simply Force the user to show their age if they are 18 nothing more nothing less. That way the responsibility at least falls on the "victim" who knew exactly what they were doing

    I'm sorry but as it stands right now nothing else will help until there's some kind of universal internet ID system and that's a little too big brotherish for me including other organizations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation not to mention the tons of Commerce that wants advertising access to the under-18 demographic

    That's not to say you can't pass something like that for use on your own service. There's no minor this going to say okay you need to send in a photo ID which they probably don't have and a birth certificate or other forms of paper identification such as utility bills so on and so forth the type of things that Banks ask for it to open a bank account it would be an administrative nightmare and no one would ever use it. Nor should they you're talking about allowing minors onto an anonymous *** service or even creating their separate platform for minors to find other minors to have ***. This just isn't feasible especially when you can have adults that are knowledgeable enough to check the system send in the paperwork and allow themselves into a network with free rein to minors.

    Your other option is to allow this for everyone just like a bank does and that's going to be an administrative nightmare and second every cent that the site actually makes.

    I'm sorry but minors are just going to lie about their age. just make it crystal clear that everybody on the site is assumed to be 18 or older turning off the age feature was a bad idea.

    Besides technically you're already required to be 18 to join the site nobody reads that stuff so it should still be required to be shown on the profile.

    Sorry but for right now there's no other feasible or economical options to deal with this I wish there was but it just isn't going to happen in the current climate
