[QUOTE=Grayron;17675932]they have to put it there, deal with it[/QUOTE] This. They have to put them there or they are illegal.
Meh, I don't mind. Furry porn is not usually Age Gated. :v:
[QUOTE=Larikang;17675888]They're also fucking stupid. Here's why: [b]1. The point of an age gate is to alert minors that they shouldn't be viewing certain content 2. If a minor wants to watch something with an age gate, it's trivial to bypass it by putting in a fake birthday 3. It takes more work to answer an age gate honestly than it does to put in some improbably old fake birthday 4. Apparently date of birth is "personal information" so no websites will store your information once you go through the age gate. Which means you need to go through the gate every fucking time you visit a site[/b][/QUOTE] You're missing the point. They're not supposed to stop underage people from viewing the content, they're supposed to absolve the content provider of legal responsibility (which they do).

Liability. Their asses are covered.
4chan doesn't make you press agree every time. :downs:
Theres porn on the internet?
[QUOTE=Larikang;17675888]:words:[/QUOTE] DUDE! You go to myfreepaysite.com to? :ninja:
I only get mad by some sites that ask you repeatedly for your age. Example: GameTrailers.
[QUOTE=he-did-it-->;17676248]I like youtube's, a simple button to press.[/QUOTE] Same as redtube, when you enter you press a button for confirming, and one for saying you are under 18 (but, why?).
Usually little kids dont lie, unless they know what happens if they lie (get pornz).
[QUOTE=Leo Leonardo;17677071]Hey, it can stop some minors. I remember when I was [i]really[/i] young, and I wanted to look at a gaming website. So I kept putting in my age, and it kept denying me. I never understood why. I even tried covering up the screen, because the most reasonable answer to me was that the computer was watching.[/QUOTE] That happened yesterday didn't it? :v:
Once I went to a porn site that said you had to be over 18 and under 70 to enter
I agree, these just piss me off. Use a fucking button.
I thought this thread title meant "[If you] Eat a dick, [you] age [bill] gates"
i think they would help if you're like 4 and you don't know what the fuck is going on so you ask your parents and they're like "aw shit, don't be touchin that". but if you're 14 and you already know what a boob is then whatever.
I don't mind these too much, mainly because I avoid going to sites I know have age gates. Anyways, most sites with age gates are traps for little kids, they always culminate there.
It should all be 1 button press + cookies
You're whining over 3 mouse strokes. Deal with it.

Alot of them remember it for a small amount of time Those that dont should BURN.
[QUOTE=aman III;17679423]You're whining over 3 mouse strokes. Deal with it.[/QUOTE] 3 mouse strokes you have to enter [I]every single time[/I] you go to the site.
we need an option to place age gates on our topics
[QUOTE=TurtlePower;17679277]That happened yesterday didn't it? :v:[/QUOTE] Sort of. It was past my bedtime, and I have no idea if that's the next day or not. Not like anything happens outside the crib.
[QUOTE=Catdaemon;17675943]"1. The point of an age gate is to alert minors that they shouldn't be viewing certain content" No, the point in an age gate is to protect the company providing the content against charges that they allowed minors to view the content.[/QUOTE] Yeah, The companys don't give a flying fuck if you watch it, they just don't want to be sued.

Age Gates are completely retarded. It's just delaying people from getting to your site.

I get really pissed off when I accidentally input the wrong year and then have to clear all my cookies if I want to see the video. The person who invented these should go die.
