Yay Mellow! :) Koleare will be here soon I assume :D.

Yeah I agree with the suggestion, Forum > Secret club, in the clubs the activity level would be so low and no new people would join in with the fun/discussion.

First of all props to Mellow for making this thread.
Second of all , here are some examples that might be better of being 18+.

Porn sites also try to restrict there sites to 18+ but that doesn't stop all the teenagers/kids watching porn does it? There just needs to be the alert that the thread/s are going to be 18+ and why they are 18+, then anyone who doesn't wish to look at the thread just doesn't look at it.

If you saw the kinda good stuff at the 9000 thread, I dont think the "kids" will be very excited to see those stuff, cuz that's what's most likely gonna appear.

Far too many loop holes in the system, and this simply just supporting spam. As if the MAL community would actually have mature discussions over NSFM content. The threads would become a contest of who can outdo other users in what they find.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

Edit your initial post for the poll.

A better idea would be not to restrict anything, but just give the warning with a Enter? Yes/No... The thread will be rated by the OP (while making the thread, just like adding a poll) as NSFW (18+).

Also, from what I remember, these type of threads were not locked because of the subject itself, but because of flaming/baiting/trolling, as subjects like sex (I've talked about fucking your own clone... So the subject isn't a problem) have been discussed without topic locks.

Oh, and yeah, I disagree with your initial one with the restriction and I gave you my idea on how it would be better.

I don't think the mods will like this though, it seems like it will be encouraging 18+ threads. When this is an anime site and anime has no age limit. I feel like there will be a large surge of 18+ threads as soon as this is put into action.

I have to admit something.... I would always Enter the 18+ porn sites even though I was only like 12...
Whew, that felt great to get off my chest.

OnT: It's a good idea. Mellow's and/or this idea is an easy way for anyone in general anyone of age on the forum to enter and talk versus having to create a 'secret' 18+ club and hassling with finding people interested.

True, there are other things with higher priority. As for embedded, I see posts containing spoilered NSFM links Like right here which may as well just be open and in plain sight. Restricting it to 18+ access would actually help in his rec, since we could provide visual proof of what he wants, rather than just giving names.

Well, if a surge were to happen, it's not like they'd be hurting anyone right? It's up to users' choice whether to enter them or not. And yes, they probably won't, but at least I tried.

You got me there. Knowing MAL, I doubt they'd have maturity over something like this. Personally I support Immahnoob's suggestion to create the junk board before this comes into place. That way MAL could spam whatever it wants in there. NSFM competitions, flame threads, etc.

I said I wouldn't debate but here I am .__.

...So how do we determine who's 18+ and who isn't? The warning isn't going to stop the horny 15 year-old from lying about age hoping for some easy pr0n.

Age restrictions in general, whether it be games, websites, forums, ect., never seem to serve their intended purpose. They're like the ratings in movies nobody pays attention to or bypasses altogether.

Enforcement is the main problem. There's nothing wrong with this idea otherwise.

There will be no enforcement, the only thing you need to do is to put your profile to 18.

Pretty much. I already addressed the argument of fake ages.

A simple "we warned you" + yes/no confirmation (as Immahnoob suggested) is enough. If you fake your age and you don't like what you see, that's your problem.

Kinda late on this but I find it somewhat pointless.

I don't think the site rules have anything to say about actual NSFM discussions but I don't really think it's much different than posting NSFM content, which is against the rules. So instead of talking about these 'adult' topics, how about just not starting them to begin with? Honestly, that'd solve a lot of problems. This isn't a 'that' kind forum, and if you wanted to talk about 'that' stuff, there are other places too.

Though call me a hypocrite or whatever, I'm sure I've posted some pics in certain threads in the past.

I don't see why those topics of discussion can't stay to clubs.. but if something like this were to be implemented I'd rather have an 18+ message board. That way users can gain access (along with a warning message or whatever), and then see all the threads in one place and choose which ones to visit from there.

Otherwise clicking on links and getting a warning/Are you sure? message each time would become annoying real fast. Granted, that could be easily gotten around by having some kind of 18+ icon by the title of thread to warn users instead, but personally I wouldn't want to see anything of the like on the forums... after all, these boards aren't made for "mature" topics in the first place, and seeing them would give users the wrong impressions.

Until a mod has some word, I don't think you're late lol.
Well, given that Jenny's thread was deleted, it seems like NSFM discussions aren't allowed either (and some of the posts in there were taken pretty seriously).

On your point about not making it at all, what is this kind of forum? We can list our hentai, spoiler-post NSFM material, and hell, talk about some pretty... iffy stuff. But we can't hold discussions on it? That's what irks me.

As for the hypocrisy, I think we contradict ourselves all the time. Thanks for your input nonetheless!

If a horny 15 year old wants easy pr0n then he/she can find it elsewhere. And it's not like we're going to blatantly post pictures of orgies or anything...

Well for the obvious part, anime and manga, and as uzu said, "these boards aren't made for "mature" topics in the first place." I can actually remember proper discussion threads on MAL, which is amazing compared to all the threads we have now which usually turn into some trollingshitstorm. I've noticed the amount of those threads increased after the layout changed.
