I'm with Puggsoy on every point here. My concern isn't whether it's easy to get through - if somebody wants to view the content they're going to find a way to view either which way. We can put in measures to mean only registered users can view it, but all we'll get is users registering to view it and it'll be irritating for everyone involved. Since we don't have paid accounts to join, it's not exactly going to benefit us to have a bunch of one-off accounts that never post. Statistics on registered users isn't anything of benefit to us as opposed to most sites.
I think a simple button with a check box is the best way. People will just lie about their age if we put in drop downs, and it's just cumbersome. Petie will be in charge of implementing this so it's likely that we'll need to have him go over the method of keeping a cookie with the check box, but I'm sure we can easily implement a simple option on user profiles to ignore the process all together at the same time.
