BINGO

Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

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.

What else does bare minimum mean? If all you need is someone's DOB, which you still do not need to know, you could literally just say that. It really makes it sound like you were expecting uncensored IDs, had edited ones as an option, and are now backtracking that you're getting insane backlash.

I don't know how else you could mean the words that you used. Must be nice to have SMR in your back pocket so they can delete any drama that comes through about you when it gets too hot for you to handle.

It really was poor wording on my part, nothing more, nothing less. We only need the DOB. I personally could care less for a selfie or whatever, I don't really like that and I know many others don't either, but it is what it is. You do have to give your age upon entry, so really we just need the year to double check and that's about it.

I'm pretty certain you give more information on Facebook and LinkedIn than you would here.

As for SMR in my back pocket, I do not, they are free to do as they wish, they are their own person and I cannot control what they do.

But an ID where you need none of the verifying details other than age is useless. I could use anyone's ID, black out the information other than the date, and show that to you and you'd have no way to prove otherwise. That's what verification means.

All you're doing is information duplication. You're asking the same question twice, without other information to prove anything.

I mean, you absolutely shouldn't require more information, because again you don't seem to understand how this information works. But an ID with only a date is not an ID.

I mean, this is setting aside that almost all IDs have identifying numbers, barcodes or similar data that links to a real database they can be checked against, etc, and that there are steps beyond guessing that an ID looks fake, but.

RE: Facebook and LinkedIn, they're specifically not verified information. I could sign up to Facebook under a fake name, with fake details, and though it'd probably get me banned from Facebook once they got around to it, it's very much not impossible. A Facebook account takes slightly more time to fake than lying about a date, but that's the only barrier. It is not any kind of trustworthy identifier (unless you have access to the decentralised data aggregation that such sites actually make money off, but that's another tangent).

People are saying actual ID is a big deal because it is. If you'd be happy to accept the level of security a Facebook account would offer, you could ask people to link to an active Twitter, Tumblr or other social media with their age somewhere on it. That's a less-invasive method other fandom spaces use.

SMR will delete any post on request, it's not a thing they do for "insiders" or something lol

Yeah, they reached out to me once because people were posting a lot about me on the blog, to see if I was okay with it (I didn't care), and I had barely even posted on the blog, so definitely wasn't one of the 'insiders'.

I also definitely don't really agree with all the takes they have either.
