I labeled this as a suggestion because I realized there's only so much I or even the admins of this site can do. Here's my conundrum -- this is a free to use website and I have made friends on here. I like the people here. I have come to know for a fact that at least 2 people that regularly use this website are underage. I have also witnessed one of them interact with someone who mentioned that they have an only fans. Now, as far as I'm aware, the interactions did not go any farther. I will say, this is maybe a good reason why we should remain without the ability to private message one another. I don't mean to make anyone uncomfortable here, but it is something that weighs on my heart and I thought it to be worth mentioning. As we know, the primary protection kids have from the wilderness of the web is their parents. However, I still believe safeguards are an effective use of our time, even if not the most effective way to protect the children. My suggestion: perhaps we could have an 18+ mode, and a "normie mode" (or name the mode something less insulting than "kiddie mode"). If a user directly admits they're actually such and such age, and an admin sees it, their account gets swapped to kiddie mode, which does not have access to h*ntai, ecchi, private messaging, or the ability to see comments and posts which contain certain key terms (like OF, onlyfans, etc..).

What do you think?
