Short story : I’ve been forced to place a content warning system, and I received reports that it’s bugged.
Give me one or two days and, at least, you won’t be shown this with every new page (it will be cookie-based, but I can’t entirely remove it).

Long story : Well, it’s more complicated…

I was busy phoning my web host because of a server problem (you may have noticed hentairules was offline yesterday ? ;), when the support person suddenly goes anal and asks me where’s my content warning page.
Me : wut ?
Support person : it’s the law, sir, the law.
Me : no way !
Support person : yes way !

I think this is just idiotic and decide to forget about it, but just to be sure, I phone again one hour later. I have a new person on the phone, and when asked in general terms, that person tells I shouldn’t give a fuck, it’s okay, it’s tolerated. But then we check my hosting account : it’s been noted very clearly that there MUST be a content warning, and once it’s written, checks will be made, and it has do be done.

Either I applied a content warning system, or else I was unplugged from the internet. I complied.

As it was configured, it would use a cookie with a ten years expiry time (huhu, I found this duration hilarious), meaning you wouldn’t see it again until your cookies are cleared.
But it didn’t work well ! I use a caching plugin (without a cache, I should purchase a dedicated server, it would cost me a fortune), and this caching plugin interferes with the content warning system. And it seems that every time you visit, dear visitor, you’re a new visitor, it’s magic !
It’s not normal, but I’m not superhuman, I’ll need a bit of time to find a replacement, give me one or two days – or, heck, if you’re a coder, give me the code, save the php cookie creation it must be wrapped inside javascript because javascript ouput is not cached unlike plugins relying on php, it’s the only requirement – and it should become OK :)

Final summary :
Short version : OWNED !
Longer version : Sorry it bothers you, I have no choice, give me two days and it will be much less annoying that won’t popup all the time :)

Lol I was going to ask if you can keep a cookie or something..
Nevertheless, I use IE's InPrivate so it's gonna clear out the cookie when I visit this site the next day anyway.. So I'll be a victim XD But yeah, hopefully there's a way to solve the puzzle soon!

[By the way, I use my own computer, but InPrivate saves me from friends going on my laptop checking history or accidentally typing something that's part of a page in this site]

So there’s a click-through adult content warning for the site :-( but none for the popup fleshlight ad with full nudity? How does that work?

Well, all in all, yeah, it’s somewhat of an inconvenience, but I think it’s a small thing to deal with to keep your site up and running. (And with as little negative attention as possible.)

Yeah its hell annoying, but its a small compromise. It gave me a good laugh when I found out what happens if you chose "Exit" rather than "Enter"…^_^

I don't see any warning.

Maybe it's because I'm in incognito mode, but that doesn't make much sense, that means I should see it every single session that I visit this site, since cookies are saved during the duration of the session, at least.

anyways, the content warning thingy doesn't work for me.
AAAAAHHH NOW IT WORKS COOL

I agree, funner to read than most warnings

It's no big deal Oliver. It's a small compromise to be able to keep a great site active.

Not a big deal, the web hosting companies have to cover themselves. It's a minor inconvenience.

Well found. I didn't advertise adblock because I love the beer money brought by my ads, but I have absolutely no problem with geeks finding them solution themselves or talking about it in the comments, I also block whatever bothers me :)

Extract from Wikipedia:

Many nations that allow at least some types of pornography attempt to ensure that those under their legal age for accessing porn (often 18 or 21) cannot easily access it. Various measures have been tried but with varying success. Within the United States, most websites have taken voluntary steps to ensure that visitors to their sites are not underage. Many Web sites provide a warning upon entry, warning minors and those not interested in viewing porn not to view the site, and requiring one to affirm that one is at least 18 and wishing to view pornographic content. Such warning pages have little effect in preventing access by minors to porn, as any minor interested in viewing the site can simply click on the “I am an adult over 18” button without having to prove his or her age.

Note the "voluntary" bit :)

Somehow, I knew it was something like that, but I had to ask just to be sure. My apoligies for the one opening the can of blazing rage of fire, didn't think one question of notice would get out of hand. ;P

Even though the content warning is functional now, Hentairules hasn´t changed a bir about content and manteinance. Thanks for taking the time to give the explanation and stuff!

I SPAMMED CLICKED GOING TO TEH WIKI PORN PAGE! SO MUCH FUN! :DD But no, in all seriousness, it is a very major annoyance. Alas, what can be done other than comply? Oh well. It isn't THAT much of a hassle. Again, just an annoyance. Like that fly that buzzes about when you're busy…OR WHEN SOMEONE DOESN'T GET YOU SOUVENIR NIPPLE CLAMPS! GOOD DAY, SIR OLIVER. -_0

Oliver.. Are you using hostgator still or a different webhost.. Because i have been using them since 2004 with my site hentai-atlantis.com an i have not had that problem.. But i do have a warning page but doesn't popup or anything. All I have is Terms an Conditions which there is a link on the top of the page.. Which is considered as a content warning page

It's pointless, as you say; there is no way someone came here on ACCIDENT. But just made me laugh =)

I think a content warning is okay on some sites but seriously, not if it's so soft that no one can be harmed and hentairules can't harm anyone as same as a normal porno can't harm anyone. Very absurd but I don't care that it's now here. I like hentairules and I will stay here as long as it's here. Hopefully this will be forever :D

I don't mind it, I mean, come on it's just one click.
And I think it's better to get annoyed by a pop-up then getting Olivers site shut down.

Whew! Thanks for the heads up. When I saw it yesterday I was worried the site had been hacked and that clicking yes would invite a virus.

Not that it stopped me, but I was worried.

But alls as well as can be expected. I liked the no-warning site better, but all good things come to an end. Oliver, you gotta do whatcha gotta do; or one day wake up with your avatar's severed head in your bed. The spice must flow! Make mine Hentairules!

No, it was another problem, a script became wild and brought the server to its knees, my web host plugged me off (it's shared hosting) to protect the other users and in case it was a hack. It was just me screwing up, actually.

bonjour,

voici une solution potentielle, qui devrait fonctionner. je ne peux malheureusement pas la tester chez moi, prevenez moi s’il y a des erreurs, je verrais si je peux les corriger.

/*

ce premier script est a inclure dans la page de warning.

la page de warning peut etre realisee en html simple, elle doit juste contenir l’image/texte d’avertissement,

et deux boutons (oui // non) du genre:

OUI ou

ce qui donnerait une page du genre:

WARNING – check your age before entering!!!

MON_IMAGE_WARNING

OUI

NON

dans laquelle il faudrait bien évidemment MA_STYLE_SHEET par l’adresse de votre feuille de style, et l’image de warning d’exemple par la votre (ou un texte)

le texte OUI (ou NON) des boutons peut être remplace par l’image de votre choix

*/

function createCookieCheckAge(oui_non){

var expire = new Date();

var dixAn = expire.getTime() + (10*365*24*60*60*1000);

expire.setTime(dixAN);

document.cookie = “ageCheck=”+oui_non;expires=” + expire.toGMTString();

if (oui_non == “oui”){

location.href = $_GET[‘current’];

} else {

location.href = “http://www.google.com”;

}

}

/*

ce deuxieme script serait a placer dans toutes les autres pages du site, et la fonction a executer au chargement de la page ()

il faut y remplacer la chaine “MA_PAGE_DE_WARNING” (dans le case “absent” et le case default en bas par l’adresse de votre page de warning

*/

function checkAgeOnLoad()

{

var dataName = “ageCheck”;

var cookieLen = dataName.length;

var cookieData = document.cookie;

var allcookieLen = cookieData.length;

var ageCheck = “absent”;

var i = 0;

var cookieEnd;

while(i < allcookieLen)

{

var j = i + cookieLen;

if (cookieData.substring(i,j) == dataName)

{

cookieEnd = cookieData.indexOf(";", j);

if (cookieEnd == -1)

{

cookieEnd = cookieData.length;

}

ageCheck = cookieData.substring(j+1, cookieEnd))

}

i++;

}

switch (ageCheck){

case "oui":

//ne rien faire pour continuer sur la page choisie

break;

case "non":

//rediriger sur google.fr

location.href = "http://www.google.com&quot;;

break;

case "absent":

//rediriger sur page de warning

location.href = "http://MA_PAGE_DE_WARNING&current="+unescape(self.location.pathname);

break;

case default:

//rediriger sur page de warning

location.href = "http://MA_PAGE_DE_WARNING&current="+unescape(self.location.pathname);

break;

}

}
