I mean, just a year ago I wouldn't be allowed to click the 18+ button, so like- I was looking up terrible shit on the computer when I was 14, so I guess if the 10 year olds were actively using our forum it'd be a problem, but I doubt parents would ever become an issue like that. Would they call the cops on a website their kid was on? Probably not, unless they're like weird as fuck. They'd just get mad at the kid.lol
And proceed to choke them with their headset. Right?
I thought when that option was given to you then CG pretty much gave away the responsibilty like a waver.
Seems unecessarily conveluded, seems almost like if the law was made to be broken so that lawyers could use it to gain their way. Seems like if those higher upp almost made the rules to fit them in any case they would end upp in... weirdI thought when that option was given to you then CG pretty much gave away the responsibilty like a waver.
Um. Not necessarily, no. Not gonna get into the case law, but depending on the U.S. state, European nation, no.
Oh, and just because a law states its a waiver, does not mean we would be protected from legal action... nor from some indignant parent.
We wouldn't get sued or anything, probably ever. We're just not taking the risk because it's a possibility. I wonder what the chances on getting sued over "graphic" content on a forum would be? I think a great defense would be to point the parents to the fact the kid probably actively uses 4chan, and have them redirect their rage their~ but yeah no, again, probably would never even happen.
We're just playing it safe, so our little gaming community doesn't get shut down or taken to court, honestly that'd be interesting to see.
Technically anyone can host their own webserver from their house. (Turn an old box into an FTP, forward the DNS/IP to a domain, etc). But that would mean if the site went down we'd only have one guy working on it (whoever owns the house the box is in, lol) rather than an entire team of network experts (commercial hosting companies).
Let's just face it, CG is for CG stuff. If you want to go watch porn (if you're of age of course, Cadaver ), go to a porn site. If you want to partake in other illegal activities online, do your own thing. But keep CG out of it so that people like Cadaver can keep the site appropriate and friendly for everyone.
Isn't it possible to be your own forum host? I think some guy in BOSS was doing that. He had an online server, I bought a domain name, and then they threw the forum together, and "coded" it as they pleased.Finishing this up. You can host one on your connection but if your sending out porn content it may violate an agreement with your ISP.
If there are pornography forums out there, and millions of other sick things on a forum out there, I'm sure we could do whatever we wanted, if we wanted, somehow.
