How can we ensure the over 13 rule is followed? Should it be enforced?

maybe have the "block" feature have more meaning, like making it so if a user is blocked, then they can't view that user's memes & comments but both ways.

Agreed. There's some kinks in that feature.

Something like this has been suggested on the Imgflip stream at least a couple times including by me

I think it'd be a great feature for Imgflippers of all ages

y e s

NSFW is a bit useless because kids would still turn it on...

Make a new version made for kids

I've thought of an Imgflip Jr type site.

So you can turn off the nsfw and there limited to the good not inappropriate streams and memes like meme_that_make_sense.

Or like the horny stream which belongs to the trash

yes

Simple, ban kids. No one under 18, heck, 21, or better, 27.
Total win/win. No annoying kids being pests, not predators seeking them.

Nah at least make a site for them.

That sounds fair.

bruh no one thinks 13 yo. Can be on img

Most are probably younger.

I made my own imgflip jr

ya dose r good ideas but the second there's some yt kids type crap instant delete

I assume this was inspired by Mr. or Ms. ChildAbusePreventer -- a brand-new account (literally created today) who appears to be raising an important issue but whom I believe is simply stirring the pot for perhaps nefarious reasons.

This ChildAbusePreventer's ideas have been roundly and rightly rejected by the Imgflippers at LGBTQ and elsewhere for intruding into their personal lives and feelings.

If this person has credible allegations of child abuse supported by evidence -- and I don't know why they would, if they really are a brand-new account and not anyone's alt as they claim -- then they should come forth with it, and in private, to a site mod so that a proper investigation can be launched.

They shouldn't strut around white-knighting, wielding the vague notion of child abuse like a ten-ton hammer to promote their own agenda, and trying to gaslight young people into thinking homosexual feelings are not appropriate until age 18 or not appropriate at all.

To my knowledge, homosexual urges begin at the exact same time as heterosexual urges -- i.e. around puberty.

So I think a good starting point would be actually listening to young memers themselves and not to these self-proclaimed very concerned adults seeking to speak for them.

Well, I did request the flame war at LGBTQ stream to stop. It's up to the mods there to handle that. I told this user to bring the conversation here which he has evidently declined, the Global Mods are aware of the situation so I think the best course of action for you and other users is to continue to flag and ignore. No point to keep handing him a spoon to stir with by engaging in pointless arguing. Kids for sure should know not to give their personal information out to a stranger online. Much less a person claiming to be here to protect kids but unwilling to engage with the people who actually do.

add some sort of thing that automatically puts it in nsfw if it swears

umm

We don't

Parental controls

I have the greatest idea but it's dangerous if I tell you how to make the internet a safer place

yes
