Some of you may have noticed that it appears a certain user who recently joined the forum may in fact be a minor. Now, correct me if I speak out of term, but I don’t think anyone could reasonably disagree when I say that G&T is about as kid friendly as a night on the town with Charlie Sheen and Marilyn Manson.

So, uh any suggestions what we might do about something like this in case it happens in future? Maybe add a tick-box asking you to confirm your age on the registration page? I’m open to any ideas.

Oh, and while we’re on the subject… remember the “CBeebies Red Dwarf” memes? I’ll take any excuse to revisit those.

Not sure we need to be actively blocking anyone from discussions here. I’m sure most of us got into fandom as kids too, and the discussions here are always pretty friendly and welcoming even if we sometimes use colourful language.

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

Yeah. Age shouldn’t be a barrier to entry.

I’d also leave it to the site admins to decide how their site is run.

Hey, can you blame me for not wanting to expose the youth of today to Chloe’s foaming weewoo?

As long as we can all still make endless ludicrously specific requests for new Smegadrive features.

Red Dwarf’s an adult show that appeals to kids and teens. We’re just adding swears and unconvincing head explosions, it’s not like kids stumbling upon gore, porn or brony shit and getting their innocence ruined.

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

I guess. I just figured some of the language used here might be a bit coarse.

[Warbodog]

G&T isn’t considered ‘adult’ by my household’s adult content filter that blocks real naughty sites.

Fair chance they’ve seen more than that already. 

[Warbodog]

Fair chance they’ve seen more than that already. 

They’ve already deepfaked it.

There was a lot of cunting in a thread recently. 

But yes it’s probably up to the admin rather than me, unless I stage some sort of coup…. I won’t stage a coup. Probably. 

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

Gazpacho coup?

[Jonathan Capps]

It’s a tricky one, as putting up any sort of disclaimer will never stop anyone signing up if they want to. The only reason I’d do that if it’s necessary to protect us legally, so, yeah, I probably look into that.

[Flap Jack]

G&T should have a Trevor Project-style quick escape button so that kids can prevent controlling parents from finding out they’re Red Dwarf fans.

[loadoftottnumb]

Gazpacho coup?

The revolution shall be piping hot.

No cold war.

This person also joined my server and they have enormous 12 year old energy.

[Dave]

I wish I still had the energy of an enormous 12-year-old.

Remember when you could go from laying on the floor to standing with almost no effort? I think if I tried that now the G-force would kill me.

Also long gone are the days when I could move from a position to any other position, silently.

[Dave]

I can’t even stay in the same position silently.

[Dave]

I laughed out loud at that one.

[Moonlight]

I laughed out loud at that one.

I’m glad. Both of that and that I accidentally started an amusing meme trend.   

[Moonlight]

[Moonlight]

Oh for the ability to mirror scenes in Smegadrive so those Rimmers would overlap. Cappsy, get on it. It HAS to be useful in a case that isn’t specifically this one.

Also the other Rimmer jumping by himself would have achieved the same effect. Get on it, Ed Bye.

[Jonathan Capps]

That gif is hypnotic
