I think we might be on the same page. I would feel much more comfortable if
.people were placed off-topic, and it was only accessible by members over
18 (all of OT, that is). I enjoy and have participated in OT groups, but I
am now believing that these groups can have a deleterious effect on LUGNET,
especially among kids coming to LUGNET and to LUGNET’s reputation as being
“kid-friendly”.

I know that this is a small part of your argument but I fail to see the
relevance of blocking parts of Lugnet to under 18 year olds. people under 18
can be ‘Lavender’ (I can’t remember the acronym off the top my head!)

Actually, it is my whole argument:-) I know that 18 is rather an arbitrary
number, but here in the US it is considered to be THE age at which adulthood
begins legally (except to drink alcohol, but that is another topic altogether)
