Yes, they are in scope but a "small community forum" has nothing to do but to fill and keep a few self-assessments just in case. There is no requirement to implement age verification across the board (hence why current official guidelines target only porn sites in relation to age verification).

- grepnork 1y ago>identify the 17 kinds of priority illegal content that need to be separately assessed If you're a site with lots of child users, or if your site holds pornography.
- jadamson 1y agoNo. What you have in mind is probably a Children’s Access Assessment[1], which is not what I linked. [1] https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-content/quick-guide-to-childrens-access-assessments https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-c...
- mytailorisrich 1y agoYou are being facetious as "priority illegal contents" are the sort that are the ones that are obviously very unlikely to be encountered on a "normal" small community forum. So this is no more than a box-ticking exercise, really. Regarding age verification, the OSA is explicit states that if you ban all such content in your T&Cs you do NOT need to have age verification.
