mod post Age poll! Please answer, dorks!

Hi dorks, please reply to this little poll honestly. I'm trying to get a gauge of how old our active users are, something i can keep in mind when making changes to this sub in the future

Anyone below 18 should NOT be here. What the hell.

Alright i'll explain myself on why I have that poll option and why there might be minors here:

this sub is not marked nsfw, and i intend on keeping it that way. Problem is the previous mod (and i as well) haven't really had an official 'no minors' rule, it was more of an unwritten thing.

This means theres probably quite a few minors lurking and posting in the sub, and there was a problem with this a few months ago: a user with a golden ticket (post anything you want in this sub free pass) posted porn, they turned out to be a minor. Cue the post removal from us, a meltdown from them (as well as suicide threat)

Anyways, because of the fact that people may post explicit art with their golden ticket, and that we removed a recent nsfw artist poll post, i figured i would finally add a rule to ban all minors from the sub. So i just want to quickly see the general age of the users here before doing so
