Bottom Line According to LJ FAQ 196

Original poster: happier_bunny

If you are the maintainer of an adult-oriented community, you must:

• Configure your community to have Closed or Moderated Membership and restrict membership to the community only to users whose birthdates on their userinfo page indicate that they are over the age of 18. All future members must display their full birthdate, including year, on their User Info page.
  
• Remove any member from your community who has a birthdate listed which would make them under the age of eighteen, or who has not listed their complete birthdate in their userinfo, including year.
  
• Require that all adult or explicit material to your community be posted with a security level of Members-only, including any past entries. You should also set the minimum security level for the community to be Members-only.
  
• Delete any public entries containing explicit content, unless the entry poster is willing to mark their entry as Members-only. All remaining public entries in the community must be free of adult content.

Therefore, in two days, we will be going through the current members of this community to check their user info page for their date of birth. Once you're approved, what you do is no longer my problem as I see it. I understand that this is a huge inconvenience, and you can all feel free to get mad at me and not _alicesprings because I'm a stickler for the rules.

In addition, if you've made a post in this community prior to June 24, 2006, you have to go back and edit it to friends only, or we will be forced to delete it.

Believe me, this is no fun for us either and it definitely is not my choice to have to play parent and censor.

We appreciate everyone's cooperation over the next week or so as we get everything in place and we look forward to getting back to what's important....QUEER AS FOLK and BRIAN AND JUSTIN, specifically.
