Yeah, how old are you?
Eighteen.
Thought so. This kid thinks he's a big timer because he just got his Credit Card.
LOL...
I don't have a credit card. I have a Visa Debit card. And i got it *pulls it out to read date* well, all it says is 2005. I was sixteen when I got it. Its really really not hard to walk into a bank with your dad and sign up for one.
I already told you that its simply to get a visa gift card, which would work for the fee required for a supposed priced bungie.net membership.
Also... why would you call a guy who has 2 years on you a kid? I mean... that just seems a bit off...

Darkm0d, I have a better idea. Instead of charging people to join the site, Bungie could use credit cards for age verification. They wouldn't be charged anything, they would just need to put in their information. If the account were to be banned, the credit card would be banned, so all other accounts associated with that credit card would also be banned, and no new accounts could be created using that credit card.
No way. There are positive contributions from wayyyy too many under-18 members here to shut them out. That'd be completely unfair. And no, some of them could not just "use their parent's card."
Weeding people out based on broad stereotyping is not the solution. The solution is to implement a system to encourage good posts and to establish who is and is not a trusted user.
Darkm0d, I think that your idea has a good reasoning and purpose behind it, but I think that this site has striven to remain open to anybody with internet access around the world. Although I would pay for a membership here, I would never EVER advocate that this site should become a pay site. As such, I disagree with your idea.
And i understand you completely. I gave credit to all and any sup-18 members who can show more maturity then some 18+'s. They would be missed dearly. But, like i said.. They all probably got the new maps, which required a credit/debit card. And like i said, thats easy to do.

I don't think the world itself should be charged, but the people. Thats where the problem lies.
Fixed :P
