How do they do it?


Question Posted Wednesday March 30 2005, 5:10 pm

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.

because when you register, you put your age in and when you ask a question, the mods know who asked the question so they sort it by age!

I dont think they do. They might trust people enough to think they would put their search under the right one. asHleyx3

Because if your a registered user, you put how old you are in your profile. So they divide it up like that...

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.

They don't know, they are just hoping you'll be honest. 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.

DOes that answer your question.

You can only post a question if you're a registered user, and when you register, you have to give them your age. So, they know your age from your user settings.
