Privacy is a huge issue in the forums I run. Requiring people to enter a date of birth would prevent me from ever being able to use this software. Are administrators able to disable that function?
I hope to have some experience soon with the options, so I know the more in-depth flexibility of the software. The internal demo I've seen looked promising.
We haven't implemented COPPA support (yet?), but tied with the DOB requirement option is a configurable age requirement. It'd be trivial to force members to be 18+.
