No - people CAN'T be trusted - that's the problem. :(

We'll eventually be using this information to 'age gate' mature videos and such, and it's a guarantee some joker will come along and reset the ratings on explicit material...

 

Please don't. GameTrailers does that, and it's so ANNOYING! I just end up putting my birthday as 1st January 1901, because it takes the least time.

I think we can assume that everyone mature enough to not be banned on this site is mature enough to watch a trailer with some gore in it.

you have 2 choices.

1) we only host T and lower rated videos. Also, any RP video also may be on the blacklist.

2) we add an age gate and host M rated videos. I want to make a smart age gate that is based on your profile if you are logged in. We would have to check to see if that is allowed by the ESRB.

I'm fine with the age restriction. I'm 18, so I can see most of the restricted stuff on GameTrailers and it's not that big of a deal to me if I can't see a video anyway. Plus, if it's based on my profile if I'm logged in, then I shouldn't have to enter my age every time I want to watch a restricted video, right? That'll make VGC a lot easier to use than GT.
