well said!!
@Sian321 i do believe we had a confession from @Dancer to that when they said that be glad sharing them isn't allowed, indicating they have some.
I really do hear how these updates are bringing up strong, valid feelings, and there's a lot of care and concern being expressed. We're here for you as a Staff Team, and really do want to hear your thoughts, respectfully expressed. We're eager to keep this Thread open so that you are able to continue sharing feedback on the Updates, so lets please keep our tones kind.
Thank you everyone.
Dancer has messages from off the mix which is actually allowed under the guidelines. I am 99% sure that dancer orginal comment stated that and dancer even said they can't share the messages as it breaches the guidelines
I felt need to clarify what was said
I can`t always get my words right.

I can confirm that as shared on this thread (https://community.themix.org.uk/discussion/comment/3790150#Comment_3790150) it will indeed be YOTI who run the age verification checks.
You can find out more about YOTI here: https://www.yoti.com/blog/seven-things-you-need-to-know-about-our-digital-ids/.
We'll have more answers to come on this next week!
@Dancer I have countless DM's right now telling me how both of you have been treating other community members in the same way, you don't see me threatening to share them like you've threatened to do, or randomly starting on other people and calling them pricks for no reason like you two have done. Honestly, it's borderline nastiness out of nowhere, just because i shared an extract from the online safety act.
Right that`s one good thing that has come out of this.

You can find out more here: https://support.yoti.com/yotisupport/s/article/What-ID-documents-do-you-currently-support.
The forms of ID that YOTI accept include:
Passports (200+)
Driving licences
National identity cards
UK CitizenCard
UK Young Scot Card
UK Post Office PASS Card
Can I see the privacy policy please before the age verification stuff happens?

@Sian321 that's awesome. Yoti is UK based, under the jurisdiction of the GDPR, and have never had a breach before, suggesting they have solid cyber security and great data handling practice's. I'm 100% comfortable sending a photo of my ID to them.
I`ve never used YOTI before.

Also, regarding the age verification, does anyone know if people under a certain age need parental permission? Because my parents don't know I use The Mix and I wouldn't be able to use age verification if that were the case.
@Sian321 could you answer these questions please?
Additionally, even though it may have prevented the extent of the heated discussion today, pre moderation would basically be saying goodbye to active discussions like this, unless someone is literally sitting there just to approve posts, and drinking coffee the rest of the time when posts aren’t coming through (which I doubt would happen lol).
Yoti doesn't give a clear answer i just googled
Can you answer this for me @Sian321?
@so_very_tired does your bus pass have the PASS logo on it, a picture of yourself and a date of birth? If so it would fall under PASS cards. Otherwise you may be able to verify using a selfie and not upload ID at all, which is what i plan to do.
