What is SW on

This post has been Fact-Checked for containing Misleading Information.

We never said that. Users only activate these blocks if they want, and the ranges in these options depend on the user's age.

Block Friend Requests and Messages from people under 18.
Block ALL content and contact from people under.

Block Friend Requests and Messages from people over 46.
Block ALL content and contact from people over 46.

Why specifically 18 and why specifically 46

@Andrew and @Nuno really said:

On this very day, which was probably November 17th, 2014, we proclaimeth for SW that people who hit specifically 18 and women going through menopause shall be blockethed for life

Why 46 😂
Why 18?

Like dang bruh
Why can't we set our own ages there

There was no SW on November 17, 2014.

@HannahSky for me, I guess it lets me do this

I assume it's an age range based control option

HannahSky · F

@cerealguy I guess if you're over 46 it doesn't show. I'm not sure why the 46 cut off. Seems arbitrary.

@cerealguy hmm, interesting ... I guess it would make sense (to keep old pervs from hitting on decades-younger females maybe?), if you could actually make people be honest about their age, but therein lies the problem

cerealguy · 26-30, M

@FreestyleArt go check the options on SW for age based blocking 😂
What did people at specifically 46 do

Free my midlife crisis members

cerealguy · 26-30, M

Who is reporting this post 😂
This is so silly

It's obviously a joke

TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart · 22-25, F

Did they really say this lol

cerealguy · 26-30, M

@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart no. Dang XD
I made it up

Share links or it didn't happen

I know where the mentions of 18 are, but I've never seen a mention of 46 anywhere, so please give a link to this setting and/or a screenshot

Googling your "On this very day" passage doesn't bring up anything either. This is sounding made up.

However, any aged-based feature is useless when people constantly lie about their age here just to be "ironic" like various twentysomethings tend to do. And although that is a reportable offense, the admins never do anything about it. So all references to age in the privacy and message filtering settings are just pointless. An example:

@BlueGreenGrey I don't have to share links for it to happen 😂

But this is for your curiosity. You can ask kindly for it, as you may be at an age range where they do not let you enable that. Kind of like how below 18 probably won't be able to block below 18 contact

Also, the speech about Andrew and Nuno is made up. It's a little skit about how silly the thought process could sound 🤔
