Minors

I was curious, since this is a UK forum, do rules for minors mean 16+ or 18+?

This is NOT a UK forum!
I am Brit but we often find ourselves bound by the more draconian American laws.
Assume 18+ .

Really? I thought the person who made this forum was based in the UK.

Regardless of where the forum is, I would think wherever you and the potential minor are based, the elder of the two ages. This forum, I believe, has been described as PG-13, meaning there could be 13-year-olds on this forum. However, if you want to go beyond in PMing or in real life, where you are from and where they are from, or where you may be located if you meet in real life, pick the highest age and assume that. I know the "Age of Consent" varies from state to state in the US(from 16 to 18), so do some research about local laws.

What if you're in two different countries altogether? The Internet makes things confusing.

What if the age of consent in the adult's country is 18, but 16 for the minor?

Then go with 18. Just to be safe. With 16, the adult takes the risk of being persecuted in their own country depending on what the laws say.

What about posting pics found online?

I'd still be careful. In the adults country, it may or may not be considered child pornography. Do what you want, just be aware of the potential risks involved. Research your local laws and see what they say.
