    Is the age restriction turned off, or no?

    There's this friend of mine on another site who's heard me talk about this place a lot, so she wanted me to give her the URL so she could join. But every time she enters her age and clicks 'continue', the site tells her "you cannot be registered at this time, try again later" or something similar, which could very well be the site's way of saying "you're too young, squirt, try again in a few years".

    Except, I'm nearly positive the age restrictions were turned off since no one bothered following them, and it's not like we have a real problem with maturity on this site, that I've noted, so, was that turned back on for some reason? I believe she's 12 or 13, from what I've heard, and... I realize she could easily lie about her age to get in, like the rest of the internet population younger than X years old, but, if it hasn't been turned off, then I'm wondering if there's some sort of glitch that's preventing her from registering....

    And if it has been turned back on, then I'm slightly curious as to why....

    Users must be 13 years old in order to join RPG. Those that are younger have been banned, blocked from Off Topic, or will be either/or should we discover their age is under 13.

    RPG's gotten in enough trouble over the years for issues with older teenagers, opening our doors to those that aren't even teenagers yet is asking for trouble.

    O.o for reals? I sense there is gossip that could be had over this topic. ^^ Humiliatingly funny gossip.

    Simple, Panda is cunning.



    To make my post less spammy and more suggestion/problem-y

    I totally support the age restriction, and hope that it succeeds in keeping kids out and away from content that is inappropriate for them to see.

    I'm pretty sure some of the content on here is inappropriate for me to see and I'm 18.

    I too wonder how panda didn't have any problem with it for so long... she was so popular, I think everyone knew she was just 12.

    But uh, anyway, thanks for clearing that up. Didn't realize it was such a huge deal, and like I said I thought it had even been turned off. Heh.

    Sophi knew I was 12, She told me that I wouldn't be banned because I could handle the spam section better then some of the older members can.

    But I'm 13 now, So...




    SAFE!


    On a more serious note, Try not to let anymore 12 year olds in. I learned way more then I should for my age and honestly wish I didn't.

    Interesting. Could this be the case for other innocent 12yos?

    Panda the Grace in which you handled Spam in spite of your hindrances. It gives me a little hope for the next generation. I was mean to you, and I feel shame when I think of some of the things I said to you, but now I can honestly say I adore you. I wish I had a little sister half as awesome as you. ;D You too Rosie. <3
