Should we make LB an 18+ website?
As I'm sure the rest of you have, as well, I've recently noticed an upswing in the younger demographic. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it denotes the popularity of battle rap with a younger audience.
BUT.... A lot of us post unsavory material for these younger age groups, that we(per the site guidelines) are responsible for individually. E.G. Supsie often posts pornographic content. We all curse heavily, and discuss other rather adult themes unsuitable for children. Obscene violence, derogatory remarks such as slurs, etc etc. Plus, battle rap events, at large, are 18+ generally for not only these reasons, but, because of their locations(often taking place in bars, or clubs). I think it's important that we, as a site, take similar steps. As to avoid any unnecessary problems by allotting younger users on the site. Now, I realize that there are parental and explicit warnings on the site already. But, personally, I think we should include an age verification mechanism on the site(having to fill out your birth date, for example.) And before you say it, yes, people will lie about their age. But, despite that, I think we should AT THE VERY LEAST make some attempt at deterrence to exposing these younger age groups to this type of content. Similarly, these steps help to avoid potential predatory actions. As, there have been people on the site who show some degree of potential predatory behavior, in regard to child abuse(2 Gucci, Rohaan as examples.). These types of people should not be allowed a group of younger children from which to select. What do YOU think? Discuss. :high: @NOBLE @Seul @Student @Aggo @HVK |
Shiiit, I joined this site age 16 and nothing I came across was really new to me or disturbing. I can't speak on everyone but through personal experience I'd have to say no

> Calls me a child predator.
> I actually babysit kids all the time. https://i.imgur.com/KsKC7zI.jpg You shouldn't be making fun of people for praying on children when you look like your age preference is within the 13 - 16 range. Let me ask you this, when was the last time you went outside? |

People of younger age shouldn't be stripped of coming onto our site just because 2Gucci is a proven paedophile.

Also, if literally anyone else made this post then this would be taken much more seriously at least by me. However, literally EVERYTHING you do is a troll. You don't actually give the slightest fuck if there are kids roaming around this website, you just wanted some sort of excuse to gain my attention since you're just a lonely desperate fuck. I couldn't even take this post seriously even if I wanted to because at this point you're just way too easy to predict and I can tell you EXACTLY what you would say no matter how I responded.
> 2 Gucci Votes Yes "Ah, so you think that it would be best to keep all the children away from you on this website?" > 2 Gucci Votes No "Oh? So you want to keep all the children on this website so you can talk to them all?" > 2 Gucci Votes Undecided "Are you just not sure whether you want to continue talking to children or not?" So this is where I will shut you down like I always shut you down when you start your shit. Literally any decent human being with common sense would go and report someone who they truly believe is truly preying on small children. So far you have not done a single fucking thing except for JOKE about it. So that means only one of two things. 1. You're just a troll who lives under a bridge looking for a snack. This would be more believable since you ALWAYS troll and you're just a pathological liar. I can't even emphasize with you without you being a complete asshole or a troll (trust me, I've tried). 2. You're a scumbag human being and it is YOU who shouldn't be around children if you TRULY believed I was preying on children yet letting it remain unreported. I have given you more than enough information to actually do it and I would LOVE to have you put in the monkey house for false accusation charges if you actually did report me. Let's get it. P-U-S-S-Y |
Yes, emphasize as empathy is something that I am completely capable of. Test me.

All shit aside, I don't think the site should have to make allowances to protect young people from the behaviour on par with the culture of battle rap. If they want to surround themselves with that kind of material online, it's as easy as ever, no porn websites or anything ask for age confirmation etc. Plus if they're familiar with the culture, they'll know what to expect, and if they do find themselves traumatised, they'll know to steer well clear. In the words of some wise cunts, this is battle rap bitch.

A better question might be, does the site flag up as adult in households with age protection on their wifi? Cause if not the same kids can look at any shit they want online with no obstacles.

I am jealous of you for two reasons. One is how amazingly well you are at trolling, considering how much I wish I could troll as good. The second being how intelligent you are in regard to how well you compose yourself as well as how great of a writer you are. But you are just an asshole man. I should just do what I said and continue to ignore your bait. -_- |

If this site was 18+ this thread would have like two posts because anyone with the ability to form a cohesive sentence sees through your absolute bollocks.

If all you wanted was a slew of agreement, tough shit. Don't waste time telling people it's a discussion if all you want is to drag people in to a lecture. I think I've reasonably laid out why I disagree, as much as an autistic mind might not be able to grasp how I can disagree with what you view to be black and white, incontrovertible and crucial arguments in favour of the children. I maintain the amount of effort you're proposing isn't worth the minute effect (the minuteness being something you yourself have admitted to) that the steps will effect. ---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ---------- bak 2 bein da long schlong mamafuckin prince innit |
