    Best way to keep the underage off your sites.

    I recently became slightly concerned about children accessing my sites when I investigated a chargeback I recieved. I was told that the person that signed up was under the legal age and not liable for their actions. I started to wonder how many chargebacks I get are from underage people. I promote filtering software on my main sites. But I don't understand exactly how they work. If the kid just shuts down his computer and restarts it is safe mode and removes the filtering software would that not disable the filtering software?

    Post your tips on keeping the little ones off your sites, and protecting yourself when they do get access. From kinds of warning pages to HTML coding that filtering software looks for when blocking sites. Also any information about laws and or court cases pertaining to the subject.

    I believe this will become an even more major issue in the future and we should work together to protect eachother and those fragile little minds.

    I think we can only do so much. It's the parents responsibility to safe guard their children. But then again, not sure how that will hold up in court.

      The only way your going to keep underage kids off your site is to not put pictures of naked people on it...

          I get people emailing me ever so often telling me they want a refund or perform a chargeback because their "kid", or some other unauthorized person, got ahold of their card.

          I call them a fucking liar and ignore them... usually.

          Trust me, its a common tactic for people to use to get their money back after they have raped your members section for a month.

          What I do sometimes is bullshit them and tell them that I am reporting the card to an international credit card fraud database that will help them keep from becoming victims again by disabling their card so it can no longer be used on pornographic websites.

          You would be suprised how many people change their tune.

          Fuck the surfer, he is the enemy.

          and so is Fade.

          What I like the best is how when they are trying to tell me it is a fraudulent transaction they give me the username and password as well as other ibill info like transaction id or subscription id.

          yeah right "cockmaster69", its your kids account.

              Ask them questions mostly only adults could answer, like "What city do you mail your IRS forms to?" or "What does 'palimony' mean?"

              Seriously, the law says that getting a credit card number is enough. Anyone know about phone billing?
              SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                Well, I would suggest using an Adult Verification System like AdultLogin, but then, I am biased.

                Of course, AdultLogin has features not found with some other Adult Verification Services, like the highest referral fees in the industry. While the normal payout is 50% per signup (+ recurring for the premium sites) I can give you 65% if you can guarantee mass submissions.

                Contact me direct if interested in this, or see my signature tag for link to AdultLogin.

                  Provide links to net filtering programs and that is enough in my opinion.
                  Any parent who lets their children surf the internet alone, should be using some program to block websites.

                  It is also important not to attempt to trick people into visiting your page.
                  Don't submit your adult site under non-xxx keywords etc..

                    Most interesting! Lots of good ideas. The one thing I am thinking of that I have not seen on anybodies page is like a question that only an adult would know the answer to. But there are to many stupid adults and a person could click the back button and try again and again until they got the right answer!

                    Anyother ideas or experiences?

                      jeez, what's the big deal with kids looking at nude chicks?!? in what way will it harm them?!? if they don't like seeing it they won't so what's the big deal...
                      why do you all think a nude chick is bad for a kid?!? 50 yrs ago nude knees were thought to be bad for kids to see and see what the world looks like right now... and there's still no short on child-shrinks...

                      i think being not so pathetic is the best solution to this so-called 'problem'.

                        Is that correct?

                        I always thought that, like the warning text, it was just to show a good faith effort to prevent kids from looking at the goodies.

                        I'm positive that minors can get a MC or VISA. All they have to do is have a parent co-sign.

                          Grasp the concept timinator... US citizens can be jailed for corruption of minors at the very least if the authorities chose to crack down. Lord only knows what else they can invent to go with it. lol

                          We agree that the parents have a responsibilty to watch their kids BUT... we have to tread a little more lightly here versus the Netherlands. Asking adult questions like where do your taxes get mailed to isn't a real good one. lmao Most adults wouldn't have a clue. They stuff the paper in the envelope, stamp it (ain't THAT a bite) and mail it without ever reading where it's going. lmao

                          Oh well time will tell in the next few years what hoops we will have to jump thru. I don't think Bush and crew will let this go forever. He'll get bored listening to the same old military reports and want something else to mess with at the same time.

                            I had a Master Card and a Visa when I was 15... credit cards are easy to get.

                              Tell you what, when I was a kid if I took my parents credit card and signed up for porn sites my parents would have made damn sure *I* was liable for my actions.

                                Hah!! If I stole my parents credit card and got busted for it, I would be typing with a pencil in my mouth, or with my nose, if I survived the initial beating that is. Had I used it to buy access to a porn site, I would have had my eyes burned out with glowing red steel rods, again, if I had survived the initial beating.

                                  I will forever live with the image of my mother throwing the modem out of our second story window because I ran up a high phone bill calling BBSs.

                                    Old days? Heck, there was not even such a thing as a modem, much less a BBS when I lived at home. I might be able to remember one of my parents beating my ass with a slide rule, or an abacus, but that is about as close to a computer as we had when I was growing up

                                      Not all sites are "nude chicks." There are sites with bukkake and anal sex and men blowing goats and all that kind of stuff. We're in the "adult industry" for a reason: there are things people of a certain age aren't ready for yet.

                                        I remember taking a look at the dirty magazineswhen I was a kid But that was never a political issue. Now cracking down on internet porn is a big deal. And it could be very serious. I sure don't feel like going to jail because some poduk county prosecuter in podunk land wants a piece of my hide because some buck toothed ugly kid saw a dirty picture on my website. I keep racking my brains trying to figure out how to protect myself from all the ignorent bible thumping cross eyed buck toothe cousin fuckin insecure J. Asch....'s out there!

                                          The point is apparently lost on you: If another adult gets the kid the card, it is THAT adult who is then responsible for how the card is used. Let's be clear: are you trying to be free of responsbility for letting kids in, or are you trying literally to keep them out? Two different things.

                                                ok, let's say we want to protect the kids against themselves... then there's still nothing we can do WITHOUT parents or whatsoever...

                                                warning pages? - yeah sure... like any kid is gonna click 'exit' just because it says you gotta be 18+... that just makes it more exciting... imo warning pages make it only worse. it's only to keep the narrowminded-biblepreachers-kind-of-guys happy.

                                                avs? - pretty good protection but usually WE don't want that... usually when you run let's say a TGP you don't want an annoying, time-stealing, scary, ccnr requiring loginform as splash page... it simply prevents TOO many people from entering...

                                                content filter software? - could work, but only when a PARENT installs it...

                                                for the rest i don't see any options ... (?)

                                                  Nowadays these kids know more about computers and the internet than we ever thought of knowing, and the problem that I see with the child protection software is that most parents don't know a thing about computers, so the child is the one that has to install the software. So it's, "Yes Mom.. I set all of the filters just like you wanted."
                                                  Need more be said?

                                                      I use this on most of my enter pages.

                                                      Here is the VERY SIMPLE truth about the Internet and children getting on it.
                                                      1.It takes an adult to purchase a computer (most of the time, or at least in
                                                      EVERY case I have seen)
                                                      2.It takes an adult to order the telephone line to connect to the Internet with.
                                                      3.It takes an adult to even have electricity for the computer to run ( Utility Company ).
                                                      4.It takes an adult to order the Internet Service (usually with a credit card) from a ISP
                                                      5.It takes an adult to provide a place (home) for the computer to be in
                                                      WHY THEN GIVE A UNSUPERVISED CHILD ACCESS TO THE INTERNET?
                                                      The answer is DON'T.
                                                      Take precautions, make safety plans, most of all KNOW what they are looking at.
                                                      The Internet is a powerful thing. You can learn about far off places, study history,
                                                      buy a car...and yes surf porn, so don't use it as a baby sitter.

                                                        So, you have some need to give away porn for free? Wise up! I remember when I first got in this biz, there was no such thing as Netnanny, or any other software like that, because there was no such thing as free porn (ie: no TGP, no pic posts, no free sites)

                                                        As long as there are people out there with this need to give shit away, it is going to make it tougher for you to make a buck.

                                                        By the way, when you are dealing with AVS traffic, you are dealing with traffic that not only owns a credit card, but you are dealing with traffic that is not afraid to use it to buy porn. Every single one of them has done it already (in case you had not figured that out yet).

                                                          I agree with the ones that say why bother that much...If you have a warning page and you advert netfilter software you did your bit.

                                                          Why is there such a big fuss about kids watching nude people or people having sex? Kids watch the most terrible movies even cartoons where others get slaughtered, blood, guns, torture
                                                          and hardly anyone is bothered by that.

                                                          I rather have my kids watching porn then violance!
