Considering the push some states have made towards ID requirements for sites with 'sexual' content they could also be trying to keep out of that mess. I suspect this is the biggest factor. Completely stamping out sexy content altogether? That probably won't happen, nor will it be necessary to stay under the radar of age verification laws. Shutting down a board specifically intended for discussions of an explicitly sexual nature? That's something that might actually be needed to avoid having a verification requirement, particularly where the only age restriction now is "promise us you're over 13" when you create your account and that obviously won't cut it for 18+ content. captpackrat posted...

I was never on the board so I have no idea how spicy things got over there, but even having a discussion about sex with someone that young is a good way to end up on a watch list. I would say there is actually a need for teenagers to be able to discuss sex openly with people who are more experienced so they can get useful advice (there's a ton of misinformation out there). It's just not necessarily in the context of a bunch of adults discussing their sex lives as adults under the assumption it's all other sexually active adults they're talking to. Annoyingly, most sites that are generally tame and mature enough to potentially take on that responsibility are also the sorts of sites that are going to face problems with age verification laws because they aren't trying to fly under the radar. But then states pushing for age verification laws tend not to be overly keen on comprehensive sex ed in the first place, so they probably aren't too concerned about that. --- This is my signature.

faramir77 04/26/24 7:45:27 PM #31:	I'll give credit to GameFAQs, the process of enshittification has been slower with this site than pretty much any other site ever. Others happen quick. Tumblr went from one of the top visited websites to a bygone obscure low traffic site in a matter of days with a single strict policy change regarding NSFW content. But I have to admit, it's kind of funny that GameFAQs ends with an admin typing out the word "hornyposting". Edit: for the record, I think the limitations on political conversations are the main nail in the coffin. But closing or limiting several long standing message boards is a sure way to pushing more people away to an already rapidly shrinking site. --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiCtAUrZbUk -- Defeating the Running Man of Ocarina of Time in a race since 01/17/2009. -- <cite>faramir77 posted [p:980112341] in Why do you...

I spend a lot of time on that bored. And I wouldnt call Debbie downer or prude an insult. The way you were talking about the board shows a prudish attitude And Debbie downer is because you just wanna ruin others fun So, I wouldnt call either of those personal attacks, but whatever floats you boat </quote> ...

There was an incident earlier this year or late last year where a bunch of AI generated sexually explicit images of Taylor Swift were deleted. Thats just one example of the liability issue I was talking about in my other post. Its easier for a place like GameFAQs to have a general rule of just no sexually explicit images whatsoever to reduce that liability. Companies dont want to get sued and have to waste money on lawyers so they do stuff like this even if it upsets their user base. <cite>GameLord113 posted [p:980119466] in Why do you...
