Yeah, and that's just another risk to be taken, y'know? Like it's all give and take, no matter what side you're on. You're making a gamble whether you allow people with or without verification. I'm personally on the side of verification, simply because I'm an old internet coot and verification for age has always been a thing for NSFW spaces I, personally, have been a part of. But that's my choice to make, as an adult.
And yeah, at the end of the day, the only reason this shit is kicked up again is because some dipshit or another decided to bring it up in the comments and another one decided to submit an ask about it. When it isn't even related to the topic at hand. At all. Ugh. I'm just exhausted with this topic, I thought they'd gotten it out of their system with the first round of it.
Personally, I am on the side of not having NSFW areas associated with places that minors are able to access easily. IE, like a discord linked to a game that is 13+ and structured in a way that it is expected to draw in younger people to play it.
Having a NSFW discord is fine, but don't link it to FR or associate it with discords that try to make themselves the 'official' X flight discord.
This is largely where i'm at in this, tbh. Adult spaces are fine and have a right to exist, but having a smut channel on a flight hub was a powder keg waiting for a spark.
it's hard to be sure without more context but i THINK this might be about the ask i submitted to SMR
if so, i definitely did not mean to remotely imply that asking for ID should be a thing; literally was just pointing out that "omg they didn't have any way to prevent minors from lying about their age" is like... the nsfw channel shouldn't have existed regardless, but that "but they could lie" shit is par for the course for the internet, and for good reason (see: the link mindlessflight posted below).
