The Shroomery server is located in the United States, which means it is subject to the laws of this country. If we moved the server to say, Holland, it might not be a big deal anymore, but until then, its better safe than sorry. Would you rather have a shroomery with minors or no shroomery at all?

A christian Activist group would be formed with a clever acronym.
MASS Mothers Against the Shroomery Service
they would lobby and protest all the while attract negetive attention to the shroomery, There would be tv coverage, the internet and MANY MANY other forums would go crazy. The cops would start investigating a possible threat here...
then one thing would lead to another and........

One day we'll click www.shroomery.org and be greeted by the infamous DEA screen. The USA seems to become less and less democratic and freedoms seem to become less and less important. One day our number will be up.

1 in 10 are underage and I think 1 in 50 are VERY underage.
Underage people should not be here, no ifs, ands or buts about it

I'll be completely honest:
I'm 19, but if I was underage I'd use the site anyway and just not tell anyone............OBVIOUSLY

And you may get away with you you may not. We still have to make a valiant effort at keeping underage users off of the Shroomery though.

If an underage kid wants to pretend he's over 18 he's gonna do it. It's as easy as saying: "I'm 18". How could you possibly determine a user's age?

Would you pass condoms out to minors? You know they are having sex. Why shouldn't they be having safe sex?
I don't think anyone should ignore the minimum age requirement, but I also think we do enough to ensure that no one here is minors. The shroomery is not at risk (as far as I know), why do so many feel that more needs to be done to ensure that every member is not a minor? The current methods are quite sufficient.

I agree with Suimush. The simplest way is when a user is making it blatantly obvious they are underage repost them. If they say they're over 18 and act the part there isn't much we can do.

I agree.

if you see a minor reveal themselves report and return to posting as usual. Do not under any cicumstances approach the minor.

>17 1 in 25 >15 1 in 100 i say if they post decent content it's really not an issue. high school seniors, for example, need a place like this because as we all know they get into all kind of shit. it's better to know and ask actual people sometimes. erowid isn't the only fix.

I think that if your inder age and you want to learn how to be safe and smart about the things you do, thats fine with me, also try to really figure out if there really underage because i remember that i posted i was grounded but was hoping to get acid, and someone thought i was underage, i didnt tell him my age be cause i was then and still of the opinion that your as old as you think you are. by the way im about 18 and a half, to whoever thought i was underage while i think its a risk that underages dippshits well get this site in some trouble, i also am of the mind taht , many minors could learn a lot from this site, and i think its better there educated, than just some kids putting shit in there bodies, with no idea of the consequences.
P.S im going to college near by, and i still live with my mom, so she thinks she can still ground me:) didnt actually work out.

I think that some of the minors on these boards contribute more than many of us who are over 18. If they keep their "mouth" shut about their age, I see no problem with them being here.

If a monor contributes theres no problem, that i can see for me personnally.
but it seems this debate is partly, about not there maturity, but protecting SHROOMERY from getting in trouble, because some, mom is pissed that there son or daughter can come on this site.
