From an email I received regarding the age verification on this site now:

Dear Member,
We understand your concerns regarding the age verification process. However, we are unable to bypass the Yoti verification system, and we cannot accept the attached ID as an alternative form of verification.
While age verification is legally required in certain jurisdictions, we are implementing it for all members to ensure consistency and uniform compliance across the site. We recognize that this may be an unexpected change, especially for long-time members.
To complete the verification process, we recommend using a borrowed mobile device or webcam if you do not have access to one yourself.
Our apologies for any inconvenience.
Regards,

So since they can't bypass Yoti that effectively means Yoti controls this site now. Somehow they seem to think a photo taken by a webcam or cellphone is more accurate at age verification than a state issued drivers license and they make NO way for anyone who doesnt have a cellphone or webcam to verify their age so the site staff suggest telling someone we are on this site so you can use their cellphone to verify, who else thinks that is NOT a good idea? Apparently if you look young but are of age you might not be able to get on this site anymore, and if someone is underage but looks older they could get on this site. Like I said I may not be on here much longer if this is the way this site is going. I don't know about any of you, but I joined this site, I did NOT join the Yoti site so I'm NOT happy. Anyone else who doesn't have a webcam or cellphone or who is NOT happy with this shortsighted change to the site be sure to let the support team know of your displeasure with this policy.

SAFE $$ is that YOTI is operated by some people offshore and they would NEVER NEVER use that information (that you are on a degenerate site) for any other purpose. That would just be wrong and never never never happen. YOu can completely trust that nobody will blackmail you later, etc. I believe this and the Easter Bunny left me some gifts.
Preach it brother lol. I told sitesupport that they own the site they should be able to check ID & age (like my ID is verified), they said ID verified & age verified are two different things. Whatever happened to the company they use to verify your ID on AFF? Site support said they can't go around YOTI users must go through them. thats why I said YOTI owne the site if site owners can't control their own site without going through YOTI
YOTI only works with certain web cams. For photo verification, if you have an old webcam, YOTI can't get it to work. If you have an old webcam and you are asked to shoot some sort of paper or plastic identification, it works, but substitute a photo and you get rejected. Also AFF does not like users that have FIREFOX since they also disable old cameras for video chats and streaming.
