Avatars 3.0 Parameter "IsAgeVerified"
․Cam
I think it would be very beneficial to have a native VRC parameter "IsAgeVerified" such that I and other creators can lock certain functionality behind the age filter.

I 100% back this as well. We need more params like this for creators to use.
I legit was talking about a param like this being added to VRC years before we had age verification.

Having safety settings on would block animations and break this from working.
Better to just use the existing content gating tags to not show NSFW avatars to unverified players.

On one hand you could say there is some desync issues, on the other this would help so no youngins see things they shouldn't

Interesting.

If you could age gate individual toggles, it would be such a confusing mess. How would you know you're missing out on avatar features because you're unverified? Menus could be grayed out, sure, but what if someone else is using the avatar?
I think it's better to just use the existing content warning system, the fallback models will inform you that you're missing out and what is blocking those avatars.
Either an avatar is safe for all ages, or it isn't. No halfsies.

If you're buying an 18+ model then you're consenting that you are 18+. If you observe someone wearing an 18+ model then you can be exposed to 18+ content without consent.
I'd imagine it would be few and far between that you would age gate features for consenting buyers. It would be more for others.

Zarniwoop The content warning system does nothing for people under 18 at this time.
"Age-based Content Gating would automatically enable Content Gating for users under 18 for every filter except Extreme Horror. This was revealed in the 22 November 2023 Developer Update. Due to issues with the system in regards to users having the incorrect Date of Birth on their VRChat account and the way creators label their content, it has been DISABLED as of December 7th 2023. It has been suggested this will be reimplemented with Age Verification in the future, however there is no confirmation as to when or how it will be done."

would also be good to make it where its client side so if someone eg. a random friend is not verified and its locked behind this parameter they wouldn't be able to see either like the friends parameter

This should also be accompanied by some form of runtime menu modification, such as setting another parameter associated with a control, and if that parameter is false/0 the control is hidden, so when set to
IsAgeVerified
this would hide certain toggles/submenus from such users entirely, though I doubt that's likely to happen given other missing features https://feedback.vrchat.com/avatar-30/p/add-missing-expression-menu-control-types-and-featuresŞŤỤṬṬỆṜ
While yes, this is a good idea...creators are typically pretty lazy and also many will get angry responses upon purchase from customers who can't verify due to no vrc+ because it's locked to it currently. I say maybe in the future when it's more standard, but not now

I agree this would be a wonderful thing to add it would keep children from having access to things they don’t need and more

As a creator myself I would love this just as much as others
