COPPA Hack
This request is to address those boards that:
1. Do not permit those under the age of 13 to register therefore eliminating the need for the COPPA registration system. 2. Allow people to register that are over 13 years of age, but restrict some forum access to those 18 years of age or older. The intent is to modify the current COPPA system (or create a new system) for boards that operate as explained above. I?m not a coding guru or I would do this myself, so bear with my explanation. The ideal system (upon registration) would determine whether the user was under the age of 18 similar to the COPPA trying to determine if the user was under the age of 13. In fact, you could modify the existing code by changing the highlighted number in the line below, taken from register.php (thanks to Firefly): Code:
$coppadate=vbdate($dateformat,mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y")-13)); If the user indicated that they were less than 18 years of age, they are placed in a separate user group. The user wouldn?t have to be moderated or anything, and they would acquire the same board permissions (or whatever permission you specify), BUT..... The difference being that the users are placed in a separate user group so the admin has the ability to restrict said user group from accessing ?adult? forums. |
