Hello again all,

On our Ning signup process, we were able to restrict the ability for anyone to register with a birth date that indicated they were less than 17 years old.

We'd like to do the same here (knowing, of course, that a savvy applicant could simply lie and use a false birth year).

Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
And if so, please guide us to where we'd go to activate?

Thank you ~

Michael developed a module to do this some time back, but it was never released by the look of it.
Let me blow the dust off of it and see if its compatible with the latest JR.

The reason this module was never released is that it isn't effective and is not really needed.
As you say, there's nothing to stop anyone who is signing up from lying so all you need to do is add a custom form notice to the signup form saying that you must be over XX, then maybe also add a birthdate field, and you have then been as diligent as you can be.
