Why are all these kids still posting?

Why are all these underage kids still posting as adults when even in the story's they share they say they are really kids. When is SW going to find a way to do something about that? I love this site and would hate to see it end up like EP, but sadly it will because all the privacy and security measures will not help when kids are admittedly underage and posting with an adult account.

I couldn't agree more..I wish they would atcleast age catagorize so can't post to a more mature site. If possible

I reported a couple using the report feature for lying about their age and didn't see anything done. But then I sent a message to Jessa and it got taken care of.

SW does care and will stop a kid from being in an age category of an adult when they're just a kid and they admit it. But they can't do anything about those that lie about their age and don't admit it.

As for the groups the kids post under, I guess that's harder to deal with. SoulAsylum, I heard it was actually well over a million groups here. I don't know what they have in mind for keeping kids from posting to adult groups.

@SoulAsylum Yes the groups will probably take a lot of time, but it's not so much the group it's the age they choose when they sign up, it will say they are 99+ or something like that and some like @primnproper said will say they are in their 30s or whatever but within the story they will say they are 13 or 16 or something.

Right now a lot of the groups are mismarked. That's why they're able to post in adult groups. From what I've heard there are hundreds of thousands of groups it's gonna take a long while for them to mark them all correctly. Ep closed because they weren't making money that's the real reason they lied about it of course.

Hami, I've seen that as well 13 yr olds having there age set to 22-25 then admitting on every story they're 13. Unfortunately There really isn't anything anyone can do.

I commented on a 30/35 yr woman then from the answers and dialogue found was 13..takes the Mickey and means it leaves us wide open as well if we reply in an adult way and their a child then they report us..
If they admit to being younger, a minor in a post or comment but they have a different age on their profile then report them. I just did yesterday and was told that's what should be done. You have to have proof though.

Hami, as Pink said, nest time do send Jessa a message. She will always respond to messages. I mentioned her because I think she's on here more, but Gentle153 is also a moderator here.

@pinkrainbowkisses I only report when I read one of their stories where they admit to being minors nothing seems to be done even when I do.
@RealMustangGuy I have never tried to direct message Jessa perhaps I will try that when I run across one of them again.
We really don't know if they are minors or someone with an older acct faking they are minors while raising their ages but still when they are posting as 90+ or whatever and say they are in their teens something needs to be done.

@SoulAsylum that is true they can't see on the other side of a computer but when those accounts get reported they can check them out...... I personally report everyone I see and it is as if nothing is done because the same ones keep posting.
i have my setting blocking anyone under 18, i don't know about the fake accounts yet
Oh, next time send Jessa a message.
