Sadly it really doesn't, it just says "are you 18+ yes/no" and you can just click yes, so people can lie about their ages very easily and slip past any barriers in place.

So... like how any other website does age verification? At least this way it's not on your head if anyone's personal information gets out or minors get in.

I mean, I'm literally just looking for the month and year, nothing else, not to mention I will forget who I just checked moments later after writing down they were verified. I tell them immediately to delete it after I see it. And thing is, it is still on my head if a minor gets in because I *let* them in. I do not want the staff, nor myself, or even any of the other members to be the reason a minor gets exposed to 18+ content.

I've had this happen before in a different server I help in and it was a big issue.

But that's the thing. Not even websites take your ID for age verification. I've never been asked to do that. This is a discord server, you're not a trustworthy business, group, etc. It's just not a good idea at all.

Just because you say you won't save it doesn't mean we can believe you.

SA, by "websites" I mean nsfw websites... which seems like the very last thing you should give your info to, anyways.

Wouldn't it be easier to just ask people for another active online account where they display their age or an age range?

Having a knee jerk reaction to that without considering the potential consequences is a big issue too, though. Please think these things through before going with a plan you haven't put thought or research into.

As in, the thing that's the case on almost every site on the Internet?

what makes you think a minor lying about their age to discord isn't also going to lie to you or fake a picture lol

y'all wildin for no reason. do you also think the porn sites that ask you if you're 18 get in trouble when a minor lies?

IDs are harder to fake due to how the surface is, so photoshops are easy to tell. Also if you're willing to go through the effort to convincingly PS an ID just to see dragon dong, well, I don't really know what to say tbh.

dakkokki you reblogged a photoshopped picture of mr rogers i don't think you're a good judge for what is and isn't a fake picture

you're pretty dumb if you think people can't easily find fake IDs online to edit and then edit it in to an existing picture

do you think that lighting effects are just beyond the technology of photoshop out something

I’m sorry what? Idk what you are referring to in terms of reblogging a mr rogers id, last thing I weblogged was some goofy Tik Tok video that had me cackling for a good ten minutes?

And I know they’re not but you have to spend a lot of time and effort to fake it in photoshop. Like the photo edits I do for my photography take hours and that’s for just tiny details and fixes

Because kids aren't known for having a lot of free time to waste or anything.

"Image is a composite"

convenient that you ignore another poster talking about how not all IDs are laminate. also ignoring that it's still very simple to shop these things. the fact that it's possible at all means that it's still possible. you will be lied to. this is not the way. i can't say anything else but that you're just too dumb and too ignorant of the subject of photoshop and IDs to actually have a justifiable and defendable point

try harder

Wow, it's almost like I reblogged it for the "Fuck all of the good luck posts out there. Reblog this to immaculate your vibes" part. It's almost like people can reblog things for fun without any reason?

And I know not all IDs are laminate, but a photoshop is still easy to figure out due to lighting and how pixels are / if the text is even slightly off

1) IDs vary massively depending on type and the location of the issuing body, and this is a global Internet. There are IDs that are laminated bits of paper, or even on paper cards, that are still valid as a form of identification.
2) Fake IDs are readily available and used all the time, in ways that have nothing to do with one individual using Photoshop for your site.

You're missing the point and it's hard to tell if you're just that slow or you just refuse to accept that your methods are flawed and unsafe.

The point of people explaining how easy it is to fake a picture of their idea is to show you that even your method is not going to keep minors out of your 18+ space. You seem so certain that this is the only way possible to keep only adults in, but it's not and people are trying to show you why.

You're way too stubborn and it's scary that people actually send you their personal information. You insinuate that people don't have to send you their uncensored ID, but not that you don't allow them to. Meaning people who are maybe young (18 year olds still make stupid decisions) or don't understand how unsafe it, probably have sent you a picture of their uncensored ID.

I don’t WANT uncensored IDs, please don’t send them uncensored. I don’t want to know your address or anything, nothing of that sort, I use want to make sure you’re over 18, nothing more and nothing less.

Then why is showing a censored ID with only the date of birth something you called the BARE MINIMUM? Shit's not adding up my guy! Keep your story straight or stop lying.

It's poor wording on my end, I'm not the best with words I will admit.

As someone who used to be a minor that ABSOLUTELY would have gone through that effort, as well as many other of the people I was friends with, it's really not that wild of an prediction.

Again, photoshopped IDs are pretty easy to spot.

Then prove to me that you're qualified to spot them, or have at least had the minimal training someone working at a bar would get.

So I take a picture in dim lighting. Or dim enough so you can't see any glare on the coating.

Or, my ID is currently printed on paper and it IS official, because it's temporary and I'm waiting for an updated ID to be shipped in.

Or, I add an overlay in photoshop, but if I zoom in enough or the quality's too shitty you'll never notice it. I say, "I don't have a higher resolution camera to take a picture with, I hope this is good enough."

Or, I laminate it, or put a sheet of plastic over it.

Or, I...

You aren't qualified to spot them. If someone REALLY wants in, they're going to make it past you.
