I hate age restrictions!

I was going to try out for a mod on the 01 forums, but I had to be 12! I hate having to wait a year just to do things! I wish I could just be whatever age I wanted! Discuss age restrictions.

Re: I hate age restrictions!

It is sad a lot of things are judged by age. They should really be based on maturity and experience, not a number.

Re: I hate age restrictions!

I can't watch some Youtube videos because I'm not 18.  sad

I can't run for the mod election because I'm not 13.  sad


WHY DO I HAVE TO BE YOUNG!?!?!

Although, the majority of the 6-13 age group aren't quite as mature as 14+ (Talking about scratch here)

Re: I hate age restrictions!

I know.
Most sites require you to be 13 to even join, but if you are allowed to join, you get isolated from everyone else if you're under 13.
And it stays that way. (Say you made the account when you were 11, you still wouldn't be able to join everybody else 3 years later.)
This is because those sites operate under COPPA laws.

Re: I hate age restrictions!

I wasn't able to get into a club because I wasn't 18.
I mean, I'm mature enough. What's wrong with drinking?

Re: I hate age restrictions!

I know! They won't let my 6 year old cousin drink and bring weapons to school for some reason! This is unfair! I think he's mature enough!

Re: I hate age restrictions!

I remember when you needed to be 14+ to be a community moderator.

I wasn't that age.

But then again I'm never running for community moderator.

You shouldn't complain about that, you can't watch it because it's been flagged multiple times.

Re: I hate age restrictions!

I'm 13! I think I'm mature enough to drive now! Why can't we just start driving when we feel mature enough?

Lie about your age. Problem solved. Only will work on the interwebz though.
Although now I'm 13, so it doesnt matter for me anymore  tongue

Uhh... things like swearing and violence are allowed in regular YouTube videos so the ones that are 18+ usually contain nudity or sexual content.

I must be mature enough  tongue  No really, they are there to protect you I mean if a whole bunch of little kids were running around with daggers and guns the whole country whole be in a uproar.

That wouldn't work for mod, because the ST has to check with your parents before you officially become a mod.
