Since Invisionfree is located in the United States and you live in another country you must follow the laws of the U.S. which would include COPPA. |

So COPPA should be on at all forums you say? Oops?if it has to be, why not make it so that it can not be turned off? @ D: Why does your membertitle say mernber instead of member? (if thats a typo, it sure is a weard one) |

It dosn't have to be turned on if you don't have a way to recive COPPA applications, but you still have to make sure all members are over 13. |

Its not a typo. i did it on purpose just to see if anyone actually got it. but your the first who has pointed it out. i got the idea from Phrank And now for COPPA. it doesnt have to be enabled all the time thats why there is a way to turn it off. However ive been reading that when IF2.0 comes out COPPA will be enabled and there will be no way to turn it off. |

You never have to have COPPA enabled, only if you want under 13's to be able to join your forum...  Edit: Sorry didn't see previous replies (forgot to refresh), still it isn't too bad as mine clarifies it...

We are actually testing a system which would have us receive and process your board's COPPA info. |

Would this be free of charge? I'd hate to get into a "Put your address online or pay" position, and not be able to use InvisionFree anymore. |

It would be optional of course. In addition, the service may not cost anyway anyways. |

I'm too awesome to be conceited.
|
this q may seem stupid, but what info are we collecting from minors requiring this? Some boards I can understand, but others don't even take emails from members |
