Not to burst your bubble, but there's tons of other adult/graphic content available without age controls that's not hosted on vBulletin software.
So, unless the content is against the law or the rules of the hosting provider, then there may not be much you can really do about it.To be updated...

Originally posted by Alfredo16 View PostThanks for the info, but how do I find out who the proper authority is in England? This is an animal forum which very explicit content which anyone can see and there are members who are stalking and bullying other members.
You can probably start here though: https://www.iwf.org.uk/report
As for bullying, it would be a civil matter, nothing criminal unless there's documented evidence of harm being done to an individual.To be updated...

Do not post the site. If you suspect it is running vB illegally then feel free to report it here: http://www.vbulletin.com/piracy.phpSteve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)

Extreme forms of pornography are not allowed under UK law any more than they are elsewhere.
The best thing to do if you're concerned about a particular site is to get in touch with the Metropolitan Police in London, you can find their details on Google.

Originally posted by cpvrx View PostvBulletin has nothin to do with these forums - they just sell the software for us. Why don't you do a whois lookup on the domain, and see if its allowed by their host?
Try googling up DMCA and reporting them through that.Aussiefootyforums

Originally posted by traen View PostLast time I checked, porn and trolling weren't illegal. What is the site url in question?
Child porn is illegal in many places as far as I'm aware. Bestiality is also illegal in some places.
"Trolling" in the form of threats or abuse could potentially be considered a crime or at least lead to an outcome that would be considered a crime.

I found that if you have a problem with bullying and other issues on other forums is to place a report to the DMCA which deals with most things and will issue take down notices.Aussiefootyforums

If you want to report all sites with explicit content and bullying, then you have quite a lot of work ahead of you. Unless you think that the site has illegal content, then there is nowhere to complain to.
If it is just that you strongly dislike the site content or the way that members behave, then dont visit. Find a nicer place. There is plenty on the net to choose from.I buy 420 forums
