    Quote from Archonoid
    Why is this a goal? Are you concerned about legal consequences? Are you using age as a proxy for something else?

    The standard MTGS forums are PG 13. Content in the Gutter does not follow this PG 13 rule. In order to ensure that members who apply for the Gutter are old enough to view this content, be respectable, follow rules, and act maturely in the subforum, the picture helps as an identifier of that. Movies that have excessive language will be rated R, which requires a photo ID and age of at least 17 to see. In some ways, the photo works as an ID in this sense.


    This is exactly what makes me hope that the Gutter ends up being shut down for good. You may not consciously intend this, but that line of reasoning boils down to "we only accept people who are good enough to post in the Gutter." The strange thing is, I think I might actually be more OK with it if that was an explicit statement rather than being danced around in these ways. If the staff decide that the Gutter is the place for the MTGS elite, and you need a VIP pass to enter? That's actually fine! That's at least a straightforward situation that can be easily evaluated.

    But everyone can apply and be accepted, except for those that have had prior problems with the Gutter, or are rejected under explicit circumstances.


    The problem is if you then don't claim that the Gutter is where the better people are. If that is not true, then what is the bad thing that will happen if you remove the entire application process - maybe check a "I am 18+" box at most - and simply make the Gutter a subforum like any other?


    If you remove the application process, then you are essentially making the Gutter a part of the normal forums. If the Gutter is then part of the normal forums, then it cannot be deemed a PG 13 forum.

    I'm probably staying home for most of the time. It's tradition that I hang out with my dad on the back porch in the afternoon. Might go to a friends cookout in the evening, but I'm looking to just chill.

    X-Ray Vision :2mana::symu::symr:
    Instant
    Look at the top X cards of target player's library, where X is the number of cards in his or her hand. You may exchange any cards in their hand with those cards on top of their library. Then, X-Ray Vision deals damage to that player equal to the number of nonland cards in his or her hand.

    Quote from Jobie
    Saw Brave tonight with my gf. Worst of the non-Cars Pixar Movies, but that's not necessarily an insult. It's good, but not great. It's kinda shallow and mundane, but it still has some Pixar charm.


    I've heard mixed reviews. Is it worth seeing?

    I saw Moonrise Kingdom on friday. It was quirky and well-done, but some of the humour is odd and may not appeal to everyone. I'd recommend it though.
