[DemonGoddess]

I'm starting off this year's topic with a bit of a rant.

As you all know, one of the things we're in the process of doing is age verification of every registered user. This is important to the health and well being of the site. This site is for users aged 18 years or OLDER. It's ALWAYS been an adult only site. Having said all that, I am utterly APPALLED at how many old minors we've found and processed since September 2008. 5695 users since then that have been deleted for being underage at time of registration, more often than not never active as adults. This does not account for duplication of accounts by these underage users, nor does it account for where i've modified these accounts where the user was over 18 and posted data.

The account duplication is an issue which honestly, I expected to be pretty bad, due to when we had the huge crash, and accounts were not yet restored, so the users made new ones. To date, 4733 accounts have been deleted after merging the data in the duplicates, or just deleting the duplicates where there was no data.

I have, to date, due to underage deletions, account merges, plagiarism deletions, bad emails, and spam registrations deleted a total of 13184 accounts. 8030 of those accounts deleted were due to age inadequacies. SIXTY PERCENT!!!!

43% is of the old minor variety

What KILLS me is that this staff (there are 11 of us total, including admin users) is catching all this crap that should've been caught when there were 30+ staff members. There's no justification that I can see, for the ineptitude for years. NONE.

As many of you are aware, we suffered two episodes of the Red Screen from Hell last month, which ties me up considerably getting it cleared up. Between that, and RL commitments, I was woefully behind on processing for June, so the numbers are much lower than they normally would have been. This also means July's numbers are going to be bigger than normal, due to processing my June backlog. It all balances though...
