I like both your suggestions. May I make one of my own (I'll make it regardless of anyone's approval, I'm from the USA)?

I think we should have a required age field on the sign up form (I forgot if we do have one), this data should then be used to automatically restrict users who are underage from viewing adult and mature (and maybe gory) content. They should also not have an option to disable the content restriction, but they should still be allowed to change their birthday or age field data provided they pass two consecutive CAPTCHA requests. IMO this is maybe a good way of doing it. It might violate GDPR though, so you know? Whatever floats your boat, Leaf / other Itch dev's, etc..

(I though a Leaf can float without the need for a boat... :-D j/k.)

I'm not sure attempting to limit youth access to NSFW content is really worth it.

Kids and teens will find porn if they look for it, they will circumvent any protection you put in.

Well, true, it's the whole spear and shield conundrum to begin with now, isn't it? You can make an impenetrable shield but then I'll just go find an unstoppable spear, in which case you will need to tape plate carrier armor to your shield to reinforce it, in which case I'll lob the spear from a rail gun, in which case you'll need to put an IPS system on the reinforced shield, in which case I will invest in a sensor jammer, and the conflict just keeps escalating from there... the problem is what you get when dealing with unpredictable actors behaving evasively and trying to overcompensate for the other party's evasions in a quest for an unknowable objective. Basically, it's like war: I build a cannon so you build a bigger one, so I install recoil cylinders so you build a trench, so I build a tank and you make dragon's teeth, and so on and so forth. :-)
