Bishop how do you keep minors from registering? Isn't that a problem with the laws? I'm seeing some pretty graphic content on xpeeps. Things that make even me blush.

You can't keep anyone from doing anything. The site is built for adults and there isn't an option of creating an account for anything under the age of 18. If they create an account they are saying they are 18 or older.

If you create a profile and say your 18 then go post in that profile that you are less than 18 we are deleting the profile. As far as content is concerned.. the site is free. We don't censor. Yahoo is not responsible if it links to an illegal site because they don't review each and every site before they link to it. They don't maintain the content on the sites. Same goes with their newsgroups.. we are operating under the same guidelines. We delete it when we are made aware of it.

We do take is serious but we can't id people at the door.

i would think that would be the parents job anyway....while I try and put protections in place so minors don't access my content, I feel it is ultimately up to the parent to do their job

In an ideal world yes. I admit that the laws scare me at times. It’s like the whole credit card thing to verify age. Meanwhile the community sites can do what they want (yahoo, etc.). It all seems way out of control & something is bound to happen. I’ve seen this pattern before.



I still think that they should create categories and levels of adult. Then police the tags at the ISP level. Allow it to be an individuals choice and not a states or area.

Fuck I'm just rattling. I need more java.
