Yeah I need age verification as well - it’s the major reason we haven’t made the migration yet.

It seems like the take from the core developers is “you have no way of verifying your users are being honest” - I am well aware of that argument, but let me as a responsible site owner deal with that.

So for now I’ll have to have the users go through the manual task of PM’ing staff stating they are \> 15 / 18 years old to gain access to the restriceted categories.

Once I get some more time i’ll need to work on a plugin.
