Can we get an adult forum to discuss AO games?

Make a group or join one of the many that are already there.

I thought this was a request for an area that didn't have 12 year olds... shame.

Seeing as how there is no ways to actually verify that someone is an adult having an adults only section is rather pointless.

Just use the search feature and search for verify account or some variation of it, lots of threads about it.

Its easy enough to verify if someone is over 18 years old. I've been doing it since 1998.

They don't manually create game discussion forums. If one of these games ever made it onto Steam then it would have a game hub and forum automatically created.

Over the internet with no human contact, no phone calls, with no access to a government database to actually verify the ID that is sent? Doing this world wide in many different languages, dealing with many different privacy laws in hundreds of different countries, some of which might not allow private companies from another country to check someone like that because they won't give a private company access to a government database?

And did you know that you can buy for very cheap lots of legit IDs of people online if you look in the right places.

Oh and with over 90 million active accounts a month with over 1 billion accounts in total with a grand total of 400ish people most of who do not do tech support?

So you can do that right? Well there are lots of companies out there that would love to know how you do it with all the above conditions.


Or are you talking about, asking someone at a store/bar to see their ID? Because thats something Valve can't due because of photo editing software.

What do you do with the collected data once you have verified? Gwarsbane makes a good point about privacy laws; proof of age requires the disclosure of personally identifiable information which is strictly controlled in many countries.

By the way, to OP, isn't it illegal to use ESRB's rating logos without permission? Most of what you call "AO" is actually unrated and as such it is illegal to use ESRB's trademark on it, per US trademark law.
