For the Master Dare List ranking table, which option would seem more intuitive to you:
a) A ranking table with links to photos/videos where everyone can see the table but the links take you to age-verified photos which you can only see if verified.
b) Two ranking tables: one for age-verified members with links to photos and another for everyone else without the links .
-
If we choose everyone can see the table but the links take you to age-verified photos which you can only see if verified, what would happen when an unverified person clicks on the link?
Ideally, the person would see a GET AGE VERIFIED image of some kind, so they know they’re missing something.
-
I suppose another alternative is to have censored photos on the public table and then another table in the age-verified area with the uncensored versions?
I don’t want to make it too complicated and cause too much work for me. It increases the chance of errors and increases workload for me to maintain two tables.

Without being completely au fait with how straight forward the security side of things is, it does seem that maintaining just one table and have active links to photos restricted to just those who age verified, would be the simpler option to maintain. As it would be 1x table and 1x set of photos.
I do like ptHarry’s idea of a non age verified person having some sort of message prompting them to get verifed if they wish to see the photos.-
If the links are in the public (non age-verified) area and link directly to the photos (like the old site), then either the photos would be public (so I can’t do that). The closest I could get to that is to have public links linking to age-verified pages for each photo, however that means building and huge number of pages.
I’ve been wondering about keeping the MDL main page public but putting the ranking table on an age-verified page. That’s the simplest solution for me. That way, I can have a message on the main MDL page stating the advantage of being verified.

That does seem to be the simplest solution.

The problem for me is that I can’t really know how well the whole approach will work in reality. Once I’ve built the appropriate pages, it’s a bit soul-destroying if I have to rebuild it in a different approach.

There’s another way to do it. I can make the table public but have an extra column with a link to an age-verified gallery for each participant. There could also be the possibility of having a second link to a censored (rude bits obscured) gallery. This means participants could choose to only be in one or the other if they wish?
How does that sound?
-
That sounds like extra work for you, but if you’re happy to do that, it sounds like a good solution.
-
In a way it’s less. It’s only one table (the main work) AND by putting the uncensored photos on a single gallery page (instead of a page per photo), it’s just one link and only one restricted page instead of multiple.
It’s still a big work load to create, but I’m not going to get away from that. I’m really keen to get this right from the outset. I don’t want to have to build the whole arrangement more than once.

I would vote for whatever is going to be easiest to build and maintain.
-
Easier to maintain is the most important for me. Building will vary between a lot of work and a HUGE job, but I want ongoing workload to be as small as possible. It means adding future submissions will happen faster, which keeps everyone happy.

Whatever is easiest also gets my vote.
A single gallery of uncensored pictures also sounds easier to look through
-
I think that’s the way I’m going to go.

Okay, construction of the new ranking table is underway. I’m probably going to do it in two stages.
-
Sadly the table looks quite thin with SO few participants listed. I’m aiming to post it in the next few days.
-
Creating the new table has been a little delayed. I seem to have caught plague over the weekend and am in no fit state to work on anything technical. I will get back to it ASAP. Sorry.

Assuming I don’t die…
