Well you know when you want to search for a question by category? Well, one of the options is "By adults" and another one is "By Teens". How do they know which one is asked by which, most don't have their age on it.

Karen answered Wednesday March 30 2005, 5:23 pm: Well, when you ask a question to the public, there is no option to that puts your question under "By Adults" or "By Teens", it is by the age in your column. Most columnists usually don't lie about their age so you can assume an age that goes with a question. All of this has to do with a columnist's setting and then their question gets listed either by teens or adults.

But of course the teens will always use the "by adults" button because they believe that they will get access to sites where they should not be. the site manager knows that the kids will still use that button, but he can show to the FCC or the Government or the POLICE( who are trying to prevent child exploitation, ) that he did his best to prevent it by offering both options. It is not his fault if kids use the adult option.
