Subject: So why is this place offered to only ages >13?

There goes 90% of the population.
Haha!

I think it doesn't matter. Anybody knows that young people are on the forums. It's how you act is what determines if your "actually 13." There is some young people who are mature gamers and they deserve the same respect as any other mature gamer. We are like a special race!

10/10. This is how it's done, gents.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

The rule is just a legality.

Basically, I make the best topics ever.

Feedback!
Duardo: This thread is locked for being stupid.
cortana 5 : It's perpetually my time of the month and I'm just grouchy.
Foman: I see absolutely no reason, either theoretical or practical, that this is not a superb idea. Excellent work, my friend.

I've been posting on this site since I was 7 and learned how to right and reed good. Problem?

Key

Maturity may not always directly correlate with age, OP... But it usually does.

  • 10.26.2011 1:55 PM PDT

I'll have the roast duck . . . with the mango salsa.

The age should be 17, as it is the recommended age to use the interactive software Bungie develops.

Consistency. Damn-it.

Should I use "how old are you" threads to systematically purge those that confess they are 13 or younger, or should I just guess and ban Skibur?

The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

So wait, what's the point of that law if no one can be found underage? Why did they approve this...?

  • 10.26.2011 3:45 PM PDT

I got my account when I was 12... Yay I broke the rules!

*Gets banned*

No!

Wait, just before this thread dies let me ask: is Bungie at danger of site/forum shutdown because of these laws in any way?

  • 10.26.2011 8:46 PM PDT

We need a madness to the method!

Yeah people will just lie.>> "You're twenty-four years old?"
>> "Twenty free."

@above: I think putting that rule up protects them in some way.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I'd imagine its for liability purposes. Such as if someone posted something bad on the forums, and a kid complained to his parents, the parents wouldn't win a lawsuit because the kid was not supposed to be here in the first place.

Probably not the most apt example, but you get the idea. Its probably not there to strictly disallow kids from viewing the site. Its probably so Bungie can protect themselves from the stupidity that is young people, parents, the Internet, etc.

I don't honestly know for certain, but Occam's Razor would suggest my interpretation is probably the right one. As many have said, it would be almost impossible to police that particular policy, given the nature of the Internet.

  • 10.26.2011 10:45 PM PDT

I would guess it's because of the beta questions. I don't think web sites are allowed to collect data from people who are under 13.

It seems to me that when I first signed up for an email account, they always included something about you needing to be 13 or have a parent's/guardian's permission to sign up.
