copying my post in Lounge:
QUOTE in short, as long as you sign up to a website which required your email / name / any info. its illegal unless your above 13 years old. for more info: http://www.ftc.gov/ogc/coppa1.htm So when someone under 13 joins, its considered illegal, and some (paul murphy for eample) become spammers. the last forum i had which was an Invision fourm btw, got taken down because we had people under 13 on it. So i'm just saying, for the love of god add a age verifyer in the sign up page. |

For starters, let me awake my inner conservative and support that this is for the protection of those that might not be fully aware of the decisions that they make. Sure, an 11 year can be smart enough to fill out a form at a secured websites be is able to take accountability for what he's doing?
