Okay, according to the 43T guidelines "You must be 13 years or older to use the site". However a third of the people responding to this survey on "become a werewolf" as well as a lot of the girls in "become a famous kid actress" look or admit to being much younger. Is there a policy on flagging suspected or confirmed underage users? |

Yes, we have a zero-tolerance policy for users under 13 due to the illegality of collecting personal information from them. Please flag users who admit to being under age 13 years.

become a werewolf(read all 30 entries…)

ya know… we’ve all been on here a while, why don’t we get to know each other. The community is starting to return, have you noticed? lets keep it up guys!
ill start:
My name is shadow. I am 11 years old and if you underestimate me i will try to rip your throat out (just saying XP). I have had over 3 years of shifting experience, with the m shift and the p shift. i can tell you in detail how to do a shift, unless it is the on spot type p shift cuz i haven't gotten there yet. i am a gray wolf.
I live in north carolina in the US. My favorite color is black, my favorite band is evanescence, i am more of a tomboy than a real girl, i don’t really have too many friends with the exception of you guys. A lot of people call me goth, so i am goth apparently. Ive had my heart broken too many times to count, I’m somewhat double jointed, i am writing a book about a therian wolf pack, i love eggs over easy, and i have a craving for meat a lot of the time. Im gonna stop ranting now.
Hope you guys have a great day.

Bearclaw, did you flag the user?

Tried to - but since I had already blocked the user at some point in the past it wouldn't let me report/flag them.

Here's another one, states she is 12 and will turn 13 on June 4th, 2012.
I would have flagged her but having already blocked her, it won't let me flag her for being underage now.

Danger is only an issue if you have no expierience in the craft. Lord BearClaw, I’m pretty sure rapists and serial killers dont believe in magic, or even mermaids. The thing on their mind is the awful things they do… but I won’t get into detail with that.
I am past childhood. I am a preteen. Well, 13 on June 4th next year. Not even a year from now. I remember when I lived in that fantasy. I believed in Santa, and it was alright then. Believing now, people think is delusional. Come on, really? I stopped believing when my mom told me the truth about santa. Since that point, I thought that went with all magic. Boy, was I wrong.
Lord BearClaw, your not factoring in the posibilities. If you dont believe in witchcraft, whatever, but you cant say theres no such thing. Shape shifting can be possible, but may take years in practicing the craft. Please consider this.

Todd S brought up an issue on the watch the watchmen goal regarding underage users that I think belongs on this forum.
In general, I think there's a difference between not allowing certain goals, and not allowing certain users.
If the guidelines prohibit users under age 13 on the site, then it makes sense to me that goals that proclaim one's age being 13 or younger should not be legit goals on the site.
However, at the same time, if time has passed under the bridge since the person said, "I'm age 10 and I want to be a child star" and now that person is age 15, then the person is a legit user of the site.
Right? Disagreement with either one of these two?

Is that a private message or an entry? If the latter, please just send me the URL to the entry. No need to copy/paste it. Here's another one, states she is 12 and will turn 13 on June 4th, 2012. I would have flagged her but having already blocked her, it won't let me flag her for being underage now. MermaidDestinyH2O wants to become a fairy <snip> |

Yes, but we'd need to be careful before automatically banning users based on what goals they have. For instance, if there was a goal called "Turn 13", I can imagine people who are already 13 commenting on it. However, at the same time, if time has passed under the bridge since the person said, "I'm age 10 and I want to be a child star" and now that person is age 15, then the person is a legit user of the site. Yes, when I go to flag a user based on an entry of theirs stating their age, I'm always careful to look at the datestamp of the entry and then figure out their age today. There's a grey area for users who joined the site prior to their 13th birthday but are now 13. I let them stay, since I wasn't able to catch them in time! |
