Okay, it's a fact that I'm at least 18

[irwink]

Alright. I'm a forum noob. How the hell do I get rid of this 'Over 18? Yes' thing hung under my avatar? I know I have to be overlooking something really stupid - like searching for your car keys when you have them in your hand.

Or is it something more insidious? Have I been singled out?!

You are not singled out. It is only visible to you and the staff. As you might have noticed, you don't see it under other members and they can't see yours. It is really there for the staff, it just so happens you can see it as well.

Don't panic, not a stupid question. I asked the same thing when I first joined the forum. In fact, I am pretty sure I asked the same question, twice, about 1 year apart. lol

Yup That is correct it's only shown to you and staff. We could hide it from members to avoid the confusion but I always thought it better that you see what we see.

Okay. But I still feel persecuted....

[blucavvy]

You're not being held here by a chain. Persecution is the systematic mistreatment of an individual or group by another group. You are not being singled out (Or persecuted as you put it) Every member (including staff) have the same notification under their names. Myself included. You are on a forum free of charge which simply asks that you are over 18 as we discuss (and sell) products that are for use by those over 18. Same as any adult website. This helps limit our liability.

We also have entities located in California and New Jersey and as such must follow their laws.

Believe me, as far as e cigarette forums go, we're probably the most lax. Though we have our own store and brand, we allow other members and suppliers to promote 3rd party products in a fairly open environment. Even if it affects our bottom line. I started this forum in 2009 and have done my best to grow this company before handing over the torch with open and fairness in mind.

Your statement is offensive. Persecuted? Give me a break.

I want to be persecuted!!!!!!!!!

[Rixter]

I feel prosecuted. And how did he get out of his chain? I've already gnawed off both feet and a hand and I still can't get away from mine!

I kind of like it! Im several times plus over 18 but if you all want to think about me as younger thats fine with me!

I was a suave young dog getting next to the pretty ladies. They are ALL pretty ladies to me!

It's better than under 18. If any ofus are under 18 we wouldn't have this cool forum or vape gear.
