Yes, all 18+ content is getting moved to a secret and unaccessible place.

It's quite easy to specify a fake birth date, so no, I'm sorry.

It would maybe be good to close new accounts for a bit and give a week or so for people to get files before they disappear? People still worked on those mods, and there are plenty of adults here who'd still like access to them...I'll also admit, I'm a bit disappointed in this choice. Teens are going to be exposed to illegal stuff here regardless, and now that the *type* of media is going to be censored....censorship is the first step into a downward spiral, and I've seen it happen again and again on multiple sites.

Also how will this work for the ebooks? Manga/light novels? It's hard to draw a line with books, most aren't rated as such, and manga in general is often somewhat racy.

We're not discussing about the legal aspect of it at all, our concern is exposing teens to 18+ stuff, not wether it's illegal or not, which comes definitely after our decision.

Anyways it's not a permanent solution, we're trying to figure out a better system to keep our adult stuff on the site, until that day, we'll have it unaccessible.

I think the birth date is more than enough proof...if you lie on it, it's on you..right? I don't think i can sneak into every house to tell parent to teach better values to their children.........i mean, I COULD and i would definitely enjoy it, but at some point someone is going to arrest me.

18+ content is a really hard topic to handle. I remember as a little youngin' I would fake my birth date all the time. And that wasn't even to access "adult" content. Simply for signing up to websites and accessing certain social features (perfect example was during the Adventure Quest and Club Penguin days lol). It's really easy to fake birth dates.

I understand it's very controversial to censor mature content but I don't really see the Sbenny website really catering to that type of audience??

Also, what type of 18+ are talking here? Like sexual? Cause if so, if people are THAT desperate for that type of thing, there or other dedicated sites who cater to that sort of audience. I'm aware of other countries even going as far as asking people to give their ID to verify their age to access certain websites (Korea).

I have yet to see a website who hosts adult content have a effective "block" to minors. At best it's a huge warning and the good ol' "are you 18" or "No", input DOB, or sign up locks. Heck, some of them don't even have that system in place.

The best solution is either to ban it completely or to have the mods or a dedicated team to kinda screen the 18+ content that is coming through. Give a disclaimer ex. This ebook/game/etc contains.... Sexual content, graphic violence, drug use.

Bro, just in case I need to access that 18+ content where is it in the depths of Sbennytopia? and when will this secret place be released to mature members here? As for the Site decision of restricting it, I strongly agree, Internet these days have no control. I have a 10 year old daughter and shes so good at using a Smartphone that I have to use set or lock third party website Parental Controls and even the unreliable (Sorry 🤘) Google Play Store parental controls as well in her phone. Thats crazy Man. Anyway, good decision, true, identities can be faked fast and flawlessly and honestly with the Techs and Apps these days the only way to manage it is to set total restrictions first until you can find a fair solution for all (TBH, even just me thinking of a solution, nothing is comming outta my head) except a suggestion am gonna post on another thread (Suggestions). good luck SBenny and more power to our Group. SBenny is the BEST! 🤘

NSFW Content has now been made available for VIP members while we work on a permanent solution. This way, all NSFW content is in a special area that is harder for minors to access.
