You have decided to start being destructive again.  You have a choice.

"Post them as you find them" or any similar behaviour even once more and you will be making a choice to leave the forum. I will help you with that choice by locking the door. This will be your free choice. Spoiling things for other people is inappropriate behaviour. This is the final warning about the choice that you are making, and stands for all time.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
We treat everyone as having good sense and mature judgement.
