Was banned permanently for being underage (17 year old). Now, that was a year ago, shouldn't this ban expire? I just felt like this needed to be addressed. I do not know this user, I just randomly found out that he's blocked and that ban should expire...

Straight from the rules:

"...we require photo identification and proof of someone turning 18 in order to release access to their account. Such proof can be sent to the senior management group to determine authenticity, and must include the user’s face as well as the government or state issued identification, or other applicable document."

That's pretty cool that you guys are willing.. But a small voice in the back of my head is saying that this seems like maybe a can of worms that prob shouldn't be toyed with. *can just hear some moron whining "well if you can do it for that, why not everyone?* or some shit.. But prob overthinking this.. lol

How is it opening a can of worms? It's literally "you are no longer underaged and can prove it, therefore that ban reason is obsolete." Other ban reasons don't get rendered obsolete so easily.

Way too much info to share with a pr0n site clearly not equipped to handle it. A govt-issued id invariably includes real name and often other important stuff as well. See doxxing, Equifax, https://e621.net/wiki/show/e621:terms_of_service Privacy Policy. Real name (and that other stuff) isn't even in the list of things the site promises not to share with random strangers.

Also in some places including EU there are restrictions for storing this kind of data.

I assume you'd blur out your name and stuff. They just need a face and birthday.

That information never even touches e621 servers. Our emails are completely separate from from them, and after verifying the information all proof will be deleted with only thing left being a note along the lines of "sufficient proof provided".
The proof also doesn't need to include the sensitive personal data, both the unigue number of the I'd as well as name can be blacked out without issue, we only care about the DOB and that the ID matches the person holding it.

Also, the TOS needs to be updated badly, but writing it goes like molasses.

No, i meant an age check.
