I think all of us find the age req to also be dumb. Unfortunately, ignoring US Federal Law seems like a stupid choice to make. Our hands are tied, so we make it as clear as possible.

Having had to ban somebody for being underage just the other day, somebody who was an active part of the discord community, really sucked. Several of us make a point whenever we can to make it clear that if we KNOW people are under 13 we have no choice, with a heavy wink-and-nod towards your solution of just -not saying you're under 13-

We absolutely do not go out of our way to find out whether people are under 13, just don't go around going "hey guys I'm 12!" and everything is fine.


Also, wow Whirled. I was years into Puzzle Pirates before they opened up Whirled.
