Age restrictions

Restrict your community to users who confirm they are 18 or older.

What are age-restricted communities?​

Age-restricted communities require members to confirm they are 18 or older before they can view content. When enabled, users see a confirmation prompt when joining or when the setting is activated on a community they already belong to.

Only community owners can enable or disable this setting.

Enable or disable age restrictions​

  1. Right-click the community tab, or select the community image in the sidebar.
  2. Select Community settings.
  3. In the Overview section, find Age-restricted community.
  4. Toggle the switch on or off.
  5. Select Save changes to apply your changes.

What members see​

Members see a confirmation prompt in two situations: when joining an age-restricted community, and when a community they already belong to enables age restrictions.

Joining an age-restricted community​

When a user joins an age-restricted community (via link or invite), they see a confirmation prompt:

  • Title: Age-Restricted Community
  • Message: This community is age-restricted. You must confirm that you are 18 years or older to join.
  • Confirm: "I am 18 or older" (desktop) / "I am 18+" (mobile)
  • Decline: "Leave"

Existing members​

Members who are already in the community see a similar prompt the next time they open it and must confirm to continue or leave.

  • Title: Age-Restricted Community
  • Message: This community is age-restricted. You must confirm that you are 18 years or older to join. (desktop) / This community is now age-restricted. You must confirm that you are 18 years or older to stay in the community. (mobile)
  • Confirm: "I am 18 or older" (desktop) / "I am 18+" (mobile)
  • Decline: "Leave"
