Allowing adult content to be posted on forums

    I am wondering if I allow adult content on my forum, and do not put in any browsing restrictions, is that a legal risk? Do I need to do some sort of age verification. The problem is its not really an 18+ forum, but a lot of the members want to post NSFW content. So I am trying to figure out a way to balance this.

    idk exactly, but i'm assuming it would be good to check out some adult forums and see what is happeni there. there is adult info on this forum and you only have to claim to be 13 years or older to join, so i think restrictions are rather laxed.

    You will be allowed limited content but make sure it meets and is in compliance with your host's terms and conditions
    The age verification may apply depending on the content, but may not be needed

    Just make sure the forum content is within your set parameters
