 * Does anyone know how to implement a hack that will prevent anyone browsing my
   site under the age 15 from viewing certain posts. I’ve considered using the password
   protection and putting a notice up saying by typing this password “whatever” 
   into the password box you are confirm you are 15 years or older. But i’d rather
   not, because i’d like to use the password feature for other stuff.
 * Does that make sense?

 * This cannot exist – how can the software know ?
 * All I can think of is some sort of entry requirement but even so, what’s to stop
   them lying ? Is this related to those odd ‘minors’ laws in the US ?

 * I was thinking something along the lines of a form that appears the first time
   you logon onto the site, which asks you to agree that you are over 15years of
   age, by typing your full name and clicking I AGREE. At least i’ve made it clear
   that my site may not suitable for under 15s and if they lie to get access and
   read or see something they dont like, they are to blame and no parent can email
   me with a lawsuit.
 * It has nothing to do with the US or UK Laws. It’s just that my site will contain
   strong language and the occasional R-rated image. It’s nothing x-rated, just 
   don’t want my son for example (who’s only 6) getting onto my site at his mums
   house, seeing/reading something offensive and his mother ringing me up telling
   me i’ve just lost the weekend access to my son rights… A bit OTT, but you get
   my point ?
 * Should I just stick to the password protected option then?

 * we’ve been through this before. there are ‘minors’ laws in many countries…
 * The best thing to do is require registration, and as part of the registration
   process have a button saying “I am X or older”, and another backup in the text
   before the submit button… Beyond that, there’s nothing more you can do — except
   not make an adult-oriented site. 😉
