If there was a way to detect underage surfers...
 

How would it be done?

I would like to hear some peoples thoughts about underage surfers on TGP's.

Any guess?
How many what %? would you say?

its called avs

promote cyberpatrol

When i was 16,17 i use to go to tgps all the time, i remember seeing sleazydream once or twice. Uness they tell you that they are underage, you will never know. :1orglaugh

You know i was a not an advance surfer back then, i use to go to CJ's and click the thumbs and they take me to another site and no galls. That use to piss the HELL out of me. Im like were the fuck is the gall!! :1orglaugh

I would imagine a huge %. But some TGP's don't want to get rid of them because their banner prices would drop.

Maybe Microsoft's Long Horn will have Age Verification Loggin accounts.

Humm.

Absolutley...

But I do not think a majority of TGP operators really care.
Probably one of the reasons why i have never openned a TGP.

I would feel just to guilty.

Guilty? You think all the people that come to gfy is 18? I first saw gfy when i was 17 and wasnt in porn. It came up in some random convo i was having and i checked it out.

Ask them what their favorite cocktail is, if they say Rum & Coke, don't let them in...

Have a moderated kids domain, make it a crime for parents to allow unsupervised access to any other part of the internet. Make it vogue to turn in non-complying parents.

When i was in school, me and my friends found ways around the schools 'kids block' bullshit and watched porn. :1orglaugh

ps: They found out we and and i got suspended for like 2 weeks because we didnt clear the history on the comp we were watching porn on. :Oh crap

No laws regarding child abuse of some sort huh? :1orglaugh

I like the system that consumption junction uses. It is not fool proof, but it makes them have to do the math.

A pimple proximity detector attached to every monitor.

That would be kinda hard since a lot of kids would just like about their ages. Tracking won't probably help a lot since servers are normally registered to adults, so the kids using them won't get busted.

Is it no Adult Webmasters "responsibility" to take steps to not allow children on there sites or make it "Unlikely"?

AVS, yeah...
Well lets be real here.

you can set up a simple script in javascript that forces the user to digitally sign with his birthdate before the user can enter the site. of course, users can lie, but you can put them on notice that they are swearing under the law that this is their true birthdate, and that it constitutes their digital signature. its perjury if they lie or try to circumvent it.

for the hardcore pix, i would keep that behind an avs, but for simple nude thumbs, or adult text the digital signature thing covers your ass. can't be too careful these days.

90% of the surfers going to TGP's and MGP's are 14 years old. :2 cents:

:pimp :pimp

How many of you guys actually got complaints from disgrunted parents?

When I was in high school we were running a ftp out of the school server for 2 years before they found out why most of the bandwith they had was used (they had like a 100 mbit connection or something like that) ;P

My friend got suspended

Well the only way would to censor all the paysites tours and stop offering free pornography ...

This thread is ueless because nobody will do it. This industry keeps shooting itself in the foot over and over ;)

Never got one and I was running high traffic tgps ... but it don'T mean we don't have to try to limit access ...

Lets not kid ourselfs, 15,16,17 is the age when kids want to jack off the most. Where do you think they will go? To the internet.

Hey, its better then knocking up some whore and getting her pregnant.

Oh there is a way...
And of what use is underage traffic besides pumping up traffic numbers resulting in wretched ratios?

Strictly speaking, since there is no law making it their responsibility, no. In terms of self-interest, possibly even probably. But therein lies a snag, namely that there is no satisfactory way (not even credit cards) to prevent their access.

Not only are easily by-passed measures likely to attract the scorn of our detractors, but in purely practical terms, I suspect that while deterring many "legitimate" adult visitors who won't have the patience or because of privacy/scamming fears, they might actually encourage underage visitors. I'm sure many are dumb enough to imagine that content behind some kind of protection may be more extreme than that which is easily accessed. Anyway I imagine that lieing about their age just adds to the fun.

A fairground ride can have height restrictions. A bar can have age restrictions. Not only because there are practical ways to enforce them, but also because, since they are applied throughout a locale, they do not result in loss of business. We are screwed on both counts and although you might argue that attempting to do something would be better than doing nothing, I'm really not sure I would agree. It would cost us business without changing the minds of anyone who wants to close us down.

What we more sensibly should be doing, is ourselves lobbying for a solution and for the application of that solution. It would be somewhat difficult to attack an industry which was itself calling for age verification and if we were involved, we would be able to impact on what method was used. Putting age verification into law is also the only way we could try to ensure a level playing field (at least within national boundaries).

The main flaw in that concept is that we are years away from being able to organise ourselves enough to be able to lobby for anything...

But we'd have to get rid of some other traffic too ;)

"What we more sensibly should be doing, is ourselves lobbying for a solution and for the application of that solution."

I very much believe in this. (You can lead a horse to water)

However...
It is what everyone is detesting the most. "A great apocolypse" that will destroy the adult internet itself.
Such a topic has brought on "Fuck the people that support it".

I assume you are referring back to "your" XXX thread. If so, and although I shudder at the thought of turning this into another thread like that, you are making far too great a leap to go from "ourselves lobbying for a solution" to supporting the adoption of XXX.

XXX is not a solution we lobbied for. On the contrary, it is being foisted on us for the financial gain of a few and it has the potential to open a back-door by which anti-porn crusaders can much more easily act against us. It does not intrinsically include anything related to age verification, nor can I see that any possible solutions become any easier with the introduction of XXX TLD's.

While the idea of us being organized enough to lobby for anything is laughable right now, within 5-10 years expect at least the corporate entities in this industry to begin to recognize that bowing to the cowboys is not the best way to promote their own interests.

"While the idea of us being organized enough to lobby for anything is laughable right now, within 5-10 years expect at least the corporate entities in this industry to begin to recognize that bowing to the cowboys is not the best way to promote their own interests."

5-10? Looks like they are ahead of schedual.
But none the less one must admit there has to be some guilt on TGP operators by supplying a platform for minors to surf adult unchecked.

parents :2 cents:

i really don't know how far or in what direction you meant to lead here -- q -- but (for better worse) i've got my eye on the 20-yr plan -- :2 cents:

I think there is a big difference between the surfers you can call kids who more or less accidently stumble into a porn site, and those in puberty who seek free porn for one of their 15 daily jerkoffs.

If you want to stop teens from watching porn, then remember you are up against one of the strongest human physiological needs, sexuality. Good luck :winkwink:

If you want to stop preteens from watching it, the best way to do is doing nothing except using a filter and a warning. Then its the parents/schools responsibility to limit the kids access by installing the software. If they don't; I can't think of more hypocratic parents that in first place create the market, and at the same time doing nothing themself to prevent their kids from watching it, even if they are offered free software all over. You can compare it with dad buying a porn magazine in the 80's, and not hiding the magazine good enough, and when the kids find it, he blames the producer...dooh!

Ahh...
The justification for exposing youth to Adult Entertainment.

Wow! Now there is a new twist! Thats a big step and alot of responsibility.

Or...
I do hope that the idea is that it is impossible to stop all children from accessing adult.
Which of course is impossible, but it should not impede the attempts to do so.

Internet is for adults not for kids. Period.

This is one of the funniest things ever posted on GFY.

Face reality.

What we need to do is invent some biological counterpart that would monitor the childs activity day and night, preferably in pairs so when one is busy the other can take responsibility. They would also need to be pre-programed to not only monitor what the child views and does, but also take full responsibility for the childs actions. They should also come equiped with a means to punish said children who act out or dissobey.

Naw, vodka and anything common found in the fridge (orange juice, cranberry juice, milk.....)
