Age Verification before posting comments
-
Hi, I would like to check visitors ages before they comment on my blog. We would like it if only those over 21 could comment on our wordpress blog. Is there a way to limit visibility to the blog by age? Is there a way to make those posting comments to the blog be over 21?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If I’m 12, but tell you I’m 21, how will you know?
It doesn’t work.
People lie.
Sad but true.

You could mark your blog mature. It won’t stop anyone from reading your blog but would make it harder for kids to find it. From the support docs:
“Blogs with legal adult content are not removed. They are flagged as Mature so that they become less visible throughout WordPress.com by being excluded from Top Blogs, Recent Posts and Global Tag Listings.”
-
No way to do that here other than password protecting each post and page and then telling them they have to use your contact form and include a statement that they are over 21 years of age. You then send them a password and archive the email.

You can put up a static page (is that what it’s called) saying only enter if of legal age. They’ll enter anyway but that alone is a good enough legal disclaimer.

I’m not sure if this will work, but you might want to take a look at this plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/age-verification/I haven’t used it, so I can’t tell you anything about. I just saw the name of the plugin and thought it might be what you are looking for.
Good luck.
