Agreed 100%. And, that's not going to be an easy job. It will suck up a lot of staff resources. Are they up to the task? Do they even want the task?

You beat me to the post, but that was kind of what I was getting at, as well. And, I'm not sure that I care for the idea of posting pictures of someone who is, by definition of their age, forbidden from accessing the site on which the images are posted. Granted, I'm 46 years old, but that would piss me the hell off.

And...you also have that side of it, as well. These forums are rife with comments such as "Image removed due to child in picture". When I was a moderator I had to remove several myself. In fact, I'd once even accidently posted one. The image was appropriate to the discussion, but it had a child in the background.

Another facet is images of ourselves under the age of 18. Shanni has some picture of herself, when she was into Civil War Re-enacting, that she wanted to share with me. Because she was only 17 in those pictures, she could not. So, she e-mailed them to me. Trust me...you guys are missing out. They were, in a word, remarkable. She wanted to share them...it was her image, her choice...but she couldn't.
Maleficent wanted me to post images of my high school prom. I gave the "excuse" that I was under the age restrictions. I wasn't going to post it anyway because no one needs to see me in a powder blue tux, ruffled shirt and platform shoes. Again...my image...my choice.
