There is a problem now with underage SB users who are lying about their age.  I propose two solutions to this problem.

 

1. Require new users to Rescreatu on V2 to have e-mail confirmation.  It's probably a hassle, but it will cut down spammers and other game play interruptions from users.

2. IP ban anyone who is found out to have lied about their age in order to get onto the public forums or shoutbox.  A simple ban will probably do nothing except make them mad, and they'll go make more accounts unless you have option suggestion one installed.

 

If anyone else has ideas about how to stop the spam/underage child problem, feel free to post here, and let me know what you think of these ideas as well.

I support it.

 

Patrick said that they give underage users permission to use the SB if they have Parental Permission. I don't think we should allow even that. Some parents these days don't have the time to lurk over their kids' shoulders the entire time they're on the computer and so this chaos breaks loose. I think there should be no users under the age of 13 on the SB. It's just too much for us to babysit them if they're just going to entirely break the rules.

The problem is, it's easy to lie about your age on pet sites. You choose the other age group, pretend, and voila. You got yourself a 13 + account x.x

Something has to be done about it, to be sure.
