  They've been doing that for most NSFW communities for a while. It's called a Verification Post.

    Verification posts are only for if you’re uploading photos. This new verification will be required before you can even view these communities.

      I also think you don’t need to identify yourself in those? Like, you show your Internet nickname only?

      Sorry, that comment was sarcasm. Or, maybe they could use the same pic for both types of verification. Hang some brain with your face and make someone's day (or nightmare), was my point!

  Why do I have a feeling that a handful of people are going to suddenly become n-tuplets?

  It’d be only fair if they required NSFW selfies.

  That said, as someone who has posted stuff like that and had it spread without my consent, screw (very much not literally) consuming that shit without taking the same risks as the people sharing what they get off to.

  I do think its gross to require it for the other NSFW stuff. Drug forums are very important resources for harm reduction.

  Bet that this won’t stop anyone from using it. People are sheep. Easily pacified and all too willing to give up whatever is requested for even the tiniest of endorphin boosts.

  Makes sense. How do they know your a male looking for hetero pic unless you send them your penis to prove it.
