Becoming A ConfirmedBator!

So, you might notice that things are changing a little around here.

This month (June 2025), the new UK Online Safety Bill comes into effect. One of the aspects of this law mandates that all adult visual media has to be obscured for anyone potentially under 18+

The UK is not the only government implementing such laws. The EU and various US states are also implementing similar laws.

As there are no affordable out-of-the-box methods for a site like ours to implement, we have developed our own.

All new members to the site will now have to submit a selfie or a photo of their ID (passport, driver’s license, voter ID etc). This will then move them from a registered user to a ConfirmedBator, with full access to all forum features and all adult media.

This also means existing members will need to upload the same to be elevated to the ConfirmedBator membership level.

This process is entirely free.

Reassurance

Obviously, your first concern is going to be whether your data is safe.

Using a selfie is the easiest option, and this means there is no transfer of any additional information that no one needs (as would be the case with a passport or driver’s license). Either way, we do not retain this submitted media on the server. Once we have used the submitted photo to confirm your age and attached this clearance to your registered email address, it will be deleted from the server entirely.

New/Existing Members

All registered members will unfortunately have to go through this process. We know you’re all 18+, but in order to conform to the law and create the ConfrmedBator membership level we have to go through a process of clearing everyone who is already here.

Some of you have already posted face pics to the site, as proud bators with nothing to hide (go you!) so uploading one shouldn’t be an issue.

If you really don’t want to, that’s fine. I get it. But please know that almost every other adult site you regularly use will be implementing similar methods in the coming weeks/months/years as more of these laws are passed in new jurisdictions.

But, this should take you five minutes and then you’re good to go.

NOTE: A lot of people are submitting their photo without having an existing account, only being a member of the newsletter. If you have not signed up already, I cannot clear you as ConfirmedBator, with access to the forum and blog post content.

If you have an account, just add the email address you registered with and a photo. If you don’t have an account, complete the form.
