I saw a post about this way back in 2014,
https://meta.discourse.org/t/adult-only-categories/22685
but since it wasnt in a category, and i was interested in it becoming a thing,i decided it would be better to put in a request here as opposed to bumping an old topic.
As stated in the topic above, would it be possible for someone to create a plugin that can:
-
Make category and thread titles that are visible to all users (including logged out users, Google, etc.)
-
Make it so when attempting to view the thread posts, users are be required to
sign in and check a box that confirms that they’re over a certain age
(e.g. 18 years)
- Allow logged in users who have opted-in to adult-only conversation can view and participate in the category normally, without having to verify their age again.
Currently I am using a group/permission system to deal with this problem, however it generally makes that category and conversation grow slowly because even with a pinned topic in the meta category, most people dont notice its existence.
I understand that the Discourse team is unlikely to want to take the time to implement this, so this topic is largely for charitable plugin designers.
Thanks in advance!
