Should we make LB an 18+ website?

(As a side note, the private messaging system DOES allow pictures, even if the IM doesn't.)

Well I didn't know it allowed pictures. Just shatteredthat part of my arguement lmfao. And whats your solution? Requiring people to post their age? Or strictly bar people under the age of 18? The latter seems like itskinda over kill. Shit Ive been rapping sinceI was 14. If I knew about LB, Id have improved a hell of a lot faster.

I see your points, and I do agree. But my main point .. Is that members aside, this is a rap battle website. The worst your supposed to see is gun bars, threats and a shitload of swears. Every websiye ever is gonna have perverts and pedophiles. Trolls and and rage cases. No matter where you go. Its unavoidable.

Id say, 16+ tbh. Cuz at 16, your at least mature enough to not shoot your load all over your pants by seeing tits. And maybe some user agreement? Or like.. Have Mods/Admins reach out to the young ones about, people like 2 Gucci, as it is so bluntly put.
