does this option mean i blocked accounts from everyone under 18?

because that's what i want and ive never seen a minors account before. but recently i saw an account of someone with a hidden age saying they were under 18. does that mean they lied about their birth year when making their account?

They allow minors on here apparently, and stupidly so, IMO. So yes, block them like that. That's what I do. No good can come from having a site that is clearly meant and aimed at older users (especially with all the unmoderated fetish accounts) allow minors to interact with adult. Just leads to grooming.

Report any account that says they're minor and you can see them if you have >18 years blocked.

Yes, but I have caught minors that lied about their age. So still use caution if someone is talking like a 10 year old would for example.

I never see that option before. Block people over 46

What about about blocking people over 130 years old?

@HumanEarth Joe Biden does not have an account
HumanEarth · 56-60, F
@nedkelly yes he does. He's pretending to be a 30 years female from Texas
@HumanEarth Who dat you're talking about??? I can only see your part of the chat.
Yes The 50 yr old men pretending to be teen girls will not bother you now.
I'm convinced no actual teens use this site
Yes, but that only works if they admit their real age when setting up their account.

Nothing stops me creating an account claiming to be 9999 years old, when I could potentially be a minor... and that's how they circumvent the block feature - and get reported by me for circumvention. They usually state it in a post or in the about me.

@HootyTheNightOwl there's an option to report people for having false profile details but i didn't want to block them if i was wrong in my assumption
@Frostcloud Either way... I don't see them being someone you really want to associate with.

At best, this person is a minor who lied about his/her age... at worst, it's a sicko either looking to trick unwitting adults into inappropriate conversations or a "pedophile hunter" account wanting to get close enough to suspected pedophiles to hunt them down and create a video on YouTube.

Yes. I did that too
nedkelly · 61-69, M
Yes - and also block very suspect accounts for good measure
caccoon · 36-40
Yes, and there are a lot of accounts that also pretend to be older when they are not. I always report them
@caccoon I report them as well
Frostcloud · F
@caccoon i wanted to make sure my understanding was correct before i reported them for falsifying profile details
Yes, that is what that means. Even if a minor doesn’t list their age on their profile, if they’ve told the truth when they established it, it shouldn’t appear where minors are blocked.
