Anyone else VERY skeptical of teens coming here?

[Theendoftheline]

I am of course not accusing anyone of anything that is not my intention but do you find it weird when say a 15 to 16 YO comes here claiming to be a teenager? I of course expect many to be legit like I said I'm not saying they are ALL faking or this or that but at the same time It's also possible some or at least a few here and there are literal antis posing as underaged folks or in rare cases even law enforcement accounts trying to catch people acting "sketchy" or flirting with minors etc? Thoughts? Or am I just being delusional?

I feel that way too, but it's better that anyone questioning who happens to be awkward or overly flirtartious finds community than us protecting ourselves from every anti. Community growth and wasting the time of antis on a catfishing mission is worth it to me. We're not a place for relationships or sexual content anyways, so it shouldn't matter ideally.

Exactly. Rule 5 strictly prohibits this too.

its likely however flirting and looking for romantic/sexual relationships is banned here, rule 5 i believe (correct me if im wrong) so if there are, they're jst wasting their time

Many will be adults pretending to be teens.

That said, I joined the MAP community as a minor many years ago. Most MAPs become aware of their sexual orientation at around 16 years old.

Allowing AAMs to join feels less necessary, but it does make a few points that support the philosophy of this forum. And the rules specifically prohibit flirting between minors and adults, so anyone looking to cause trouble is wasting their time.
