To commercialise 'Memorial Day', or any other day to commemorate/mourn the fallen is a bit gross don't you think?

Which add-on as I have the same issue?

Why would anyone share their driving licence or NI number to use a website forum when they can register for free with Facebook and use a plethora of groups, even start their own, without jumping through hoops? Bearing in mind most people are scam wary and would refuse to do so in the first place.

TBH I think you're overthinking it and causing yourself more grief that is necessary :) Here's my approach, not just all recent..... Register a limited company with Companies House and make the company the owner of the hamster forum, name yourself as a director. Liability then stops with the...

I've just run a report to put DM's into some sort of perspective. During March we averaged approx 15 new DM's a day and in the region of 53 replies per day to existing DM's. Personally I'd say our Chatroom, especially private chats, were the highest risk as they were pretty much unmoderated...

Not possible

As an analogy it's a bit like inviting a guest into your home and they climbing over the back fence, go for a wander, and getting hit by a train on the tracks a mile away - you are not responsible for your guest(s) actions once they leave your premises

I use this add-on... https://www.xf2addons.com/resources/auto-link-manager.826/

Good find.... (y) Description: This addon will scan each pm/dm as it is created for keywords you specify in the addons options. This is useful for ensuring your members are not engaging in illegal or unscrupulous behavior on your forum without your knowledge. ..... This addon is also integrated...

Another possibility would be if there was an add-on similar to the Facebook Moderation Alerts where posts or comments can trigger moderation alerts based on certain words or phrases. If this could include DM's then in effect all bases are covered. The alerts would go into the normal moderation...

I've noticed that Facebook no longer allow embedding of content within external sites, unless it's just mine.

"No YouTube videos" ? Am I right in thinking that YouTube still allow all and sundry regardless of age to create and upload videos to share, and for others to view? What's their take on the OSA?

I'd like to see how anyone can age-verify an existing member base of 31,000+, let alone the costs involved. From a user perspective, anyone who wants to use a forum regardless of it's nature is not going to jump through hoops and pay to do so. It also negates the purpose of a quick reply box...

That's the crux of it though, a paid member is less likely to abuse the system whereas a 'nickname' could do so with impunity. The same goes for interacting with minors. If there was traceability it would also be less likely. Monitoring all DMs is impractical and tbh could be construed as...

If you were to make the use of Direct Messaging solely that of a paid user, a site supporter for example, then they would identify themselves through the payment processor, be effectively age verified, and you would restrict the use of DMs to genuine members instead of 'nicknames' thereby having...
