Incline Is the Codex compliant with new EU regulation regarding private data?

Yeah, so we're just banning people from the EU so we don't have to deal with their shitty regulations. A big box will pop up asking if you're from the EU, if you say no, you can access the forum. If you say yes, you get to visit RPG Watch.
You should actually do this.

Grab the Codex by the pussy
You can't ban people from the EU, because they have a Constitutional right to read and participate in the Codex due to the presence of embedded Trump Tweets.

The American Constitution doesn't cover the Codex. It is Australian :D

No, the GDPR goes way beyond just the right to be forgotten, hence my pointing out the distinction. Popularly it's being dumbed down and kept at simple terms so that your average user knows what we're talking about, but in the background there's far, far more that is being required specifically of website operators from a legal, full compliance POV. Much of it mildly to ridiculously impractical for hobbyist/fan/non-profit websites because the requirements are identical for billion dollar companies and Joe's Bestest Fan Forum Evar. It's complicated to the point that various law firms currently have differing opinions and/or explanations of some of the GDPR requirements so it's going to take anywhere from several months to several years before everything is tested in courts to the point that various rulings make practical implementation crystal clear at least in the majority if not all cases.

Several areas where the GDPR is being implemented now are simply at a "best guess" and "best effort" level because nobody really knows for sure whether what's being implemented is exactly what the EU bureaucrats had in mind, or technological limitations prevent it at this point in time. But that's to be expected from a regulation as far-reaching as this one.

Sounds complex, better to err on the side of caution ban Europeans.

How would you go about it, IP-based or old-school via witch hunt and accusations
Simple question on signing up would do it. It won't be your responsibility if the applicant lied.
