Since a lot of people have been asking why this or that disappeared or why this or that doesn't work, I thought it's kind of hard to find the information in the bowels of a general Site Updates thread on the General Discussion board.
Forum access FAQ for how things work after May 2020
- Unregistered visitors cannot access forum post attachments or the Gallery, or see the Frenulum board.
- Registered users cannot access forum post attachments or the Gallery, or see the Frenulum board.
- Corollary: underage visitors cannot access forum post attachments or the Gallery, or see the Frenulum board.
- Users with NSFW Access role can access all of the above.
To interact on the forum, you need to be over 18. There's no point in registering before that age.
The role is given to people who seem to be legitimate users and aren't suspected to be too young. A similar system is in place for the Discord chat.
So:
- Don't be a spam account. (Anyone who reads this, probably isn't)
- Be over 18.
- Post an introduction — tell us about yourself a little bit, and what you're doing, why you're doing it, what brought you here, etc. If you don't write about your age in the introduction (or anywhere else) it's not possible for us to know. (For several months I thought this was common sense)
- Don't just wait silently and hope we'll notice your random account with zero posts — we aren't looking at people's accounts and their profile info all the time.
- This is absolutely not the right thread to ask for access.
And otherwise, have fun and enjoy the information on the site.
