This mod will remove the COPPA and Privacy URL stuff from your registration. Off course, you can also turn off COPPA in your CP. But my experience has learned that if people still click the link "Use this form instead", registration does not always succeed. So I made a mod that makes only 1 way possible to register, the normal way.

Hope you like it !

hmm i dont understand exactly, .. if you turn "Coppa Using" of then there is now possibiliti for users to use coppa!!

Yes, that's true, but if you turn off COPPA and anyone wants to register, they will still see the link "If you are under 13, use this form instead". That will lead them to the same page they were on, but my experience has learned that if they do click the "Use this form instead" link and the start the registration, they will not always have the Activation URL mailed to their e-mail address. So to avoid that problem, I made this mod.

If your forum is hosted on a server that resides in the U.S.A you sould not install this.

Brad · #6 10-11-2002, 09:28 AM

Yes, COPPA is law here.

Meh do you know how many 7 year olds click "I'm over 13"

I agree, its really a stupid system. however if a minor gets some "bad info" from your forum you are cleared of charges i think. But im no layer so dont take my legal advice.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
