How about "Just registered Scratcher"? Those conditions are unrealistic. 360 secs does not prevent spam. They would just wait.
Bots would give up, though. XD
I do not support this, the current New Scratcher status works just fine.

Then it will get removed when they are online. Its not like the spam is going to bite you or anything. These rules wouldn't help very much anyways...
what if it is something seriously inappropriate for younger scratchers

What I mean is that if you registered less than 2 weeks ago, you would have the title "Just Registered Scratcher" but no restrictions other than the ones that apply for "New Scratchers".

There is no method of instantly detecting inappropriate material anyways. There are always more "what ifs".
Back to my original point, these rules don't help protect against spam.

Well if its exactly the same as "New Scratcher" then there is no point in having it...

It's intended to reduce spam. Cancel the birthday requirement... If no birthday is given, it will default to May 15, 2007. Also, some people use the Block Plugin for spamming, as in:
when POO clicked show [butt v] point towards [crowd v] turn cw (180) degrees repeat until <(=B) = [ha ha ha]> say [Look at me!!!] end play sound [fart v]

Actually, I don't like the [any time greater than 60 second] rule. The reason is I use the forum is bursts; ex.
Wakes up
Replies to 2-3 of my threads
Does something for the day
Comes to scratch again
Replies to 3-4 of my threads
Goes to sleep
Some others probably do this too, and a 360 second rule would waste about 18 minutes of their time (compared to 9 minutes for 180 seconds).

I don't support; *points to all of the red text in the quote*.

[Okay, that's just weird]
It wouldn't do much. What happened to the handy dandy report button?

Agreed.
Anyway, this would discourage young people from using this website.
I not only don't support, I'm actively against.

What if there's a user under the age of 9 that's actually pretty mature? You shouldn't just restrict a lot of permissions just because of one's age. Seems a lot like age discrimination.

On the other hand, there are also some people over, say 12, who are immature.
On-topic: Still don't support.

SINCE WHEN DID AGE = SPAM. YOU SAY THAT THE POINT OF THIS IS TO REDUCE SPAM. I JOINED WHEN I WAS EIGHT. DID I SPAM? SPAMMERS ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT ATTENTION/CORPORATE LINKERS. NOT EIGHT-YEAR-OLDS.

So I do not support.

You know, why isn't this topic closed? There's like 15 people who are openly against it, and there's no way this will ever be adopted. People just keep going around in circles saying the same things, and we are going nowhere.

Well, we ran out of discussion and are now just saying the same things over and over again.

That is what they are for, but all we are doing is saying the same things over and over. There is no movement in any direction.
