So whats stopping anyone saying they are over 18 when they are not.

[Neal-UK]

Well at least you are trying to stop them from looking, therefore their parents can't have a go at you but only themselves for not watching their child. Plus, it complies with USA legislation doesn't it?

Nothing, it works on the basis that you trust your members. it's impossible for you to prevent people signing up with a fake bday unless you required proff of there D.O.B, however as Neal-UK points out it helps to cover your back by providing a service which attempts to prevent underage viewing of adult material.

I should have had that earlier In the moment I solved the "problem" what I had a usergroup with a disclaimer where people agreed to be 18 or over when joining .. but this is way better ...

Little confussed? If I have a site that contains both 18 and up forums and teenage allowed forums can I set which forums to be tagged with must be 18 or is this a global setting?

What would be cool is if the system lets you register even if you are under 18 but you can set what forums you must be 18 to enter. I have my site setup that way and it works sweet.

You can register with any age with a disclaimer that some forums you must be at least 18 to enter but I allow all age registrations. When that registered member tries to enter a forum that is for "Adults Only" they are prompted with a warning and they must agree that they are 18 years of age to enter but the down fall is that my age verification prompt does not check with the registered bday but is good enough to be comlient since the member is having to check a box and agree that they are 18 years of age and its logged.
