Questions
Frequently asked questions
Which age should I choose?
Choose the age your country's law sets. The admin notes that India's DPDP Act treats everyone under 18 as a child.
Can minors comment?
If you turn that off, younger readers can read and report comments but not write.
How do I mark a story for adults only?
Turn on Age-restricted (adult) in the Trust panel.
