Pretty much can't.

You can't keep underage users out even if you don't maintain pirvacy, IPs don't come with an age tag

You don't. Privacy is a more of a good will thing. Your users trust you to not collect data and you trust your users to not be absolute retards when using your website. Best you can do is put up a disclaimer to avoid any legal liability.

make an alert that says "this site is for 18+" that pops up they enter the site for the first time.

That'll get em

Put it behind a paywall.
Kids won't want to use their mother's credit card if it's not particularly interesting to them (porn and vidya basically).

I'm more concerned with user experience than liability; look at Jow Forums to see what happens when teens are allowed to post on an adult-targeted website.

Would you consider scanning your ID if it would never be seen by human eyes? I'm picturing OCRing the date of birth, then giving the user a cookie that allows them to post.

this worked wonders for keeping children and low-tier trolls out of SomethingAwful. but then it became the worst site on the internet and I wouldn't visit that shit today if you paid me.

enjoy having a website with no users
sites that gate the userbase in an attempt to maintain quality always end up going down in flames too, ironically, like SA

The only other suggestion would be what said. However, it will probably deteriorate Otherwise, it's all about trusting users. You can try and hope to god that the culture that develops in your site would be a moderate form of elitism that enforces a strong lurkmoar attitude and is able to actually able self-moderate.

Yeah paywall only worked for SA because for a few years it was the only site on the internet that wasn't full of morons. That moment is gone so it's just running out of inertia but god damn am I sick of being locked in here with the zoomers

>it was the only site on the internet that wasn't full of morons
it was full of morons, just morons who adhered to the sites code of conduct

dedicate the site to a high level topic that would be completely out of reach to underages (or at least the overwhelming majority of them) due to time constraints

5 cute facts about maki:
-She's a girl!
-She's a tomato!
-I love her!!!!
-Maki!!!!!!!!

is this a high level topic that would be completely out of reach to underages (or at least the overwhelming majority of them) due to time constraints because i would like to discuss these cute facts further

Add your own intelligence captcha. People who can solve one are more likely to contribute something valuable.

>Jow Forums
>ever being adult-targeted
lol

site admins don't care about keeping the kids away for reals, they care about having the plausible deniability on providing inappropriate content to the kids, so basically is usually sufficient

I don't think first year calculus is going to be much of a filter.

Have them favorite a few memes, including old ones. If they choose more old ones, then they are of age. If they choose new one, they get an IP ban

it's pretty crazy how people are getting away with selling porn to kids (via ad revenue) when if someone was selling any other restricted material with only a "click this checkbox to certify you're allowed to smoke" the feds would be on them like stink on shit

I knew someone would be dumb enough to reply to me saying that. That's why I wrote add YOUR OWN intelligence captcha.

Maki a SHIT, A SHIT

thats not what selling means

ask them who moot is

delet

*if someone was profiting off of delivering age restricted content to minors, the feds would be on them like stink on shit. however, this is not the case for porn, possibly because of reptilians

Design a screening question that 99% of zoomies will fail. The ones smart enough to know or google it can be honorary adults.

Ask the user the name of the girl who was a whore and got pregnant on Seventh Heaven.
