There are 12, 13, 14, etc. year olds posting threads about sex, masturbation, etc. Does that not make this section a potential stomping ground for sexual predators and perverts? Certainly at least some of these posters are pedifiles in disguise. Gross.

Hi dirtyaudi.
We are aware of this, and we're trying to keep these type posts at minimum, monitoring them closely.
The problem is COPPA, which is a sort of general agreement on the internet, where all persons aged 13 and older could register and participate in internet discussions without parents' consent. We keep younger posters out of these discussions (moderating them), as well as older, if their posts and approach are inappropriate or obscene.
However, I don't think that making this forum 18+ would fix this problem. Younger persons would be still able to register, because there is no option to check and verify their age.
Teenagers are curios about their bodies, but there is a difference between an inquiry about how body works and posts made just for someone's pervert fantasies. It's hard to tell which posts are genuine at first sight, so we strongly advise all members to report all suspicious topics, posts and activities to us, so we could take immediate action.
Thank you for your concern. We appreciate that.
