I was a bit surprised to see the new block when I tried to read a manga a friend had suggested, but it did prompt me to finally stop lurking on this website and actually create an account. Perhaps this could end up encouraging more people to become more active on the site.

As a side note, I found it a pleasant surprise to see the degree of responsibility the admin here is assuming in regards to the distribution of stuff with mature content. Most sites have a warning that informs people not to continue reading if they are not over 18, but that does leave them open to risk if a person ignores the warning (as most people do). Liability-wise, I think Mangafox would be covered if they did just limit it to a warning without providing the block, but it is nice to see someone not just settling for enough to prevent a lawsuit.

Ahhh I'm not getting you so am i allowed or not to? you said i am allowed to read but i cant read? Err one more thing... is smut also blocked?

Since registering I have no issue with "mature" content. I log in to check the boards prior to viewing manga. The site says Thanks, then off I go.
Perhaps you had a prior account that showed you were under 18?
If you are legitimaly over 18 then there is an issue, PM an admin and have them find a work around. If you are under 18 stop trying to view the restricted content and stop complaining.. It seems pretty simple to me.
BTW, smut by definition IS MATURE. Think of movie ratings... Smut would be rated r or x, and you should be of age to view it.

I appreciate your view of preventing mature manga from minors. This way at least you force readers to sign up before being able to read. It gives a good image of MangaFox as a caring and well organized group of manga fans. Keep up the good work, thanks!

I really want to read some of the mangas that my firends have recommended because I am quite mature for my age and I don't really take any offence when reading. So please could u perhaps at least keep all of Minami kannans and other mangakas matured theme works. Please! Please! Please! I beg of u. Please again !!!!!! Thank u very much.

I also was a lurker until the block but now I suppose I'm forced to sign up.
Haha, I was going to do it anyway but I guess this speeded the process up. However I still cannot see any of the 'mature' manga for some reason, I am 18 so maybe it has something to do with cookies?

Anyway, hopefully this problem will be cleared up soon. Til then I guess I just go back to reading non-mature manga.

After registering, receiving the email and following the link back did you go to the home page and log in?
Cookies should not be an issue, but you could always clear them.

I think it should be the parents job to know what their child is up to. I'm a parent and I don't think it should be anybody elses job. We can activate parental control from the Xbox 360 WII PS3 VCR TVS PC...

Unfortunately parents today do a woefully poor job keeping up with their children. I'm not saying it's due to lazyness, more like there just isn't enough time.
Parents work, kids are alone at home and idle hands are evil hands. Kids will get into mischef if the parents cannot watch them 24 hours a day, and truely what parent can? Kids have always gotten into mischef, but with the advent of the internet the issues have expanded exponentially.
Quick question for you suzy, Do you have net nanny, safe surfer, or cybersitter on your childs computer? Do you restrict their rights to a whitelist to prevent the viewing of age inappropriate content? It's doubtful that anyone can place a restriction that doesn't have a workaround. Also, whats to prevent a child from using a friends computer, or worse a school computer to access age inappropriate content. At least the registering prevents it here( if done honestly) and there are still flaws in the system. With no true age verification system in place the minds of our children will always be at risk.
Since you registered only to post that useless piece of fluff, it's doubtful you will see any response, but for future readers please realize that this server is doing what it can to remove the "forbidden fruit" and I applaud the servergods for it.

The decision is indeed the best choice - it's better safe than sorry. Can you understand what I'm saying and what standpoints I'm saying this from?
