Group Requests

Hell, Dsarker is 17, and I suspect that some others from our original group are younger than 18, so it would be hypocritical to outright ban people from it solely on account of age. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that the rule needs to be in place both as a legal thing (everyone who is in the EF needs to have acknowledged that it contains mature content, and that they are aware that it was entirely their choice to be exposed to it), and so that in the (unlikely) event of us becoming a major pony forum, we have a way to prevent everyone from being exposed to it. My thoughts on this, while not quite as extreme as Armok's, would basically be along the lines of "We'll choose who to let in, if anyone". The age limiter isn't really such; it is more of a legal fiction/indicator of the content. If we said "forbidden" or "mature", it might not be clear enough, but "18+" tends to be a fairly universal indicator of what the content will be.

As it stands, however, we are a very small community, with little/no growth, and I see no reason to prevent anyone who wishes to be able to view and contribute to the Everfree Forest, so long as they recognize that if they see something there that shocks, offends, traumatizes, etc. them, it isn't our fault. Basically, it isn't a matter of "If you are under 18, you can't be a part of it", but of "You need to recognize that this contains content that would be rated R/M/X/AO/whatever if it were released under those rating systems, and you must acknowledge that you viewed it of your own free will". Hope that cleared things up.
