Block incoming requests/views from minors

Back to Site Feedback

One of the reasons why IΒ loveΒ this site is because of the hard boundary that prevents adults from initiating friend requests to people who are underage. I think that is an absolutely fantastic setting that every single social media site should have.

I think it would be awesome to take it a step further as well, and add an optional toggle for 18+ accounts that don't feel comfortable having minors view their page / initiate friend requests. Often times, even a nice flashy "MDNI" tag on a page ends up being overlooked.

So, I think it would be cool to have basically the same system in place for adult users as well, just have it be an optional toggle, since there are plenty of adults who feel totally safe in being that Good Adult Role-model!

I fully endorse this.Β 

Agreed. I literally tried putting in variations of "minors, do not add" in various languages, in big text, nothing worked. A hard cap like this would be amazing.


@X

I think you completely misunderstood my post. I explicitly suggested this as an optional toggle for individual users to manage their own profiles, not a sitewide censorship mandate. If you don't want to use the feature, you wouldn't have to turn it on. It's that simple.
