Got that right.

you proved yourself wrong at the same time as making a point.Metalmario75 said:I don't CARE about "COPPA". They're denying people my age access to forums, which IMO doesn't make any sence at all.UltraByte said:Ugh. I hate it when I have to explain this.Metalmario75 said:To be honest, I don't care. If I get banned for not being 13, then that's just SAD.TheGremp said:I dunno if it's a specific forum rule, but invisionfree in general is 13+
COPPA states that members on IF forums must be over the age of 13, especially if they give information away. Unless they conceal it (unlike what you just did, smartypants), then sites can be in risk of closure due to the breaking of COPPA rules.
Oh please. Not EVERY 11 year old is so STUPID to give out all their personal details to people they don't even know.UltraByte said:It's for protection.

Yeah, EVERYONE wants to protect an 11-year-old angry Englishman currently foaming at the mouth. [/quote]Shadow_] [quote="UltraByte said:It's for protection.

giving out age and country is enough to get a stalker.Metalmario75 said:Oh please.

I'd just drop it if I was you. Mentioning it again is going to get you nowhere.Metalmario75 said:Why does this always happen whenever I mention my age. People don't care if it's a 13 year old complaining but if it's and 11 year old they get flamed to death.

I've been forum surfing since I was 9, but I never said my age, knowing that I'd get ban't and/or flamed.
Actually, I'd hate you for complaining that not enough people play video games no matter what age you are.Metalmario75 said:Why does this always happen whenever I mention my age. People don't care if it's a 13 year old complaining but if it's and 11 year old they get flamed to death.
I'm not in "5th grade". I'm in Year 7.

The fact that you're in 5th grade doesn't make it better, I just can't help but hearing the little high-pitched voices in my head.
It would be 6th grade, actually....Metalmario75 said:I'm not in "5th grade". I'm in Year 7.

Actually I started at 3. And giving away my age and nationality ISN'T going to do any harm. there are HUNDREDS of 11 year olds in the UK, it's unlikely anyone would be able to find me.Sizzler_Puddle said:I'm guessing he's some mega-smart child who started Video Games at age 1...Who gives away his age and nationality online...
