Mark own entire account as underage or as NSFW

fibs

Users should be able to mark their own accounts as underage or as NSFW.

The same account may not be tagged as both.

  • Marked accounts have a relevant emoji overlaying the top-left of the PFP, positioned outside of the circular crop so as not to look like part of the image. This appears on all instances the PFP is printed to screen, such as next to "Cozy" chat messages or when viewing profiles
  • In "Compact" chat messages, this emoji displays just to the left of the message date. This is so that it is not mistaken for part of the account name
  • An "underage" account will display the 🐤 emoji in this location. All NSFW channels on any server will automatically be muted and hidden to a 🐤 account
  • A "NSFW" account will display the 🔞 emoji in this location. 🔞 accounts have no hard-coded restrictions
  • DMs that include 🐤 accounts automatically have the strictest "robo-hamster" image scanning applied to any image sent by any user

Intended purpose

  • 🐤 allows underage users to passively note they are underage without having to be asked or to awkwardly announce it. Thus, 🔞 users can voluntarily avoid engaging them. 🐤 users are also automatically barred from NSFW channels and protected from unsafe imagery in DMs
  • 🔞 allows users to passively clarify that this account is generally not suitable for 🐤 users. Thus, 🐤 users can voluntarily avoid engaging them
  • Protection is not strictly reliant upon marking 🔞, as it is expected that predators will not mark their accounts as 🔞 while pursuing underage users

    I don't think that's a good idea. what do you consider as UNDERAGE? under 13 which is already against TOS?. Showing you are underage on your account that means you are telling the whole world you are underage and pedophiles will always take a interest.

    now you maybe think that kids are smart enough to actually block them and save themselves from being groomed but no.

    hell no, what do exactly mean by underage? like, around 15 or under 13? if you meant under 13 then an easier option is to ban them, the ToS exists

    No! This is a big privacy invasion and underage users aren’t even allowed on Discord
