I think that Discord should automatically block access to NSFW channels if it knows that you are under 18 as an alternative to just asking if you are under 18. Users that don't know what they are getting themselves into could press 'yes' and see all sorts of inappropriate content for their age.ĭiscord's community guide lines state, 'Some content just isn't appropriate for kids under 18.' under the section, 'The following is not tolerated.' Again I ask why discord lets teens under 18 access NSFW channels! It is a major flaw in the system, and I am dejected at the fact that discord allows for so much wiggle room in the department. Discord asks for your age because you are required to be over 13 years old to have a functioning discord account, which makes sense, however it doesn't really apply to anything else beyond that simple age limitation for using the application. The fact that discord simply asks if you are 18+ when accessing a NSFW channel seems like a really quick fix to lots of complaints, and as far as I can tell, hasn't been updated for more than 2 years. Or for a more common situation: if you are in a discord for the general channels, but it has some NSFW channels, and you accidentally click on one and then proceed to mindlessly click 'yes' (as teenagers do) you see all of this inappropriate content! It is WAY to easy to access NSFW discords and channels.ĭiscord allows for custom server invite links, which means you can click 'add a server' at the bottom of your server list, and just type anything like 'porn' or 'nsfw' and it will come up with completely NSFW discords. If I wanted to completely unable my younger teen from accessing any kind of NSFW post in any kind of discord server, what would I do? The answer: There is nothing that can be done.
