Can my 10 year old brother join the forums? The government says that anyone under the age of 13 is a child/kid and thus cannot join message boards, chat rooms, or social networks without written parental permission. My parents are fine with him joining forums and he's already a member of some forums. So, would it be okay for him to become a member here, even though he isn't 13 years old yet?

I think you should ask your question to the forum administrator, because I can not answer you to your question while I already read the rules of the forum. Personally, if he is capable of being respectful, why not?

I'm pretty sure he could just put 13 as his age during registration and it wouldn't make any difference at all. 

 

And that's all the feeding I'm going to do today.

I don't want to have to watch what I say thinking some 10 year old might be reading it. I assume this to be a community of adults.

 

On the off chance the OP is sincere, why does a 10 year old boy want to join this forum?

Uhm… O_o I'm gonna be swine and vote for a "no". Surely there's gaming forums out there specifically suited for a younger age group? Also perhaps one for both genders; "Lesbian" does sort of insinuate a female demographic.

It does insinuate a female demographic but does not exclude people that are not lesbian. For instance Coolgame is a valid and contributing member of this forum and Coolgame is a man. So being of the male varient shouldnt really dissuade people from joining. The age is a whole nother matter.

Blah, blah, blah… now go get some pussy.

As Nimbo say, I am actually a male individual (I do not like saying the word "man" and "woman" for reasons of vocabulary). I did not try to hide it, because if you had a minimum of curiosity, did you just look at my topic of presentation to know that. But I did not necessarily want to shout from the rooftops, because I see myself primarily as an individual and I wanted you to treat me as an individual, you see me as an individual and not a reflection a stereotype. Now, why is it that I do not see a problem that a 10 year old boy just sign here? My main argument : the experience he will probably acquire this forum will reduce the chances (without to say that there will be no chance) that he becomes a sexist.

If someone wants to oppose my position (or play devil's advocate) that the person to do so…

that was quite funny. Moving on..
 

 

I think, while he may have a broader perspective on things by joining this forum, some of the content here is not necessarily kid-friendly (the games, TV shows, references, even signatures). so…

 

OffTopic: In my opinion, kids under 13, shouldn't even be on the internet. it's too dangerous out here. Just try googling "big trucks" and see what comes up.

 

In the end, the question kinda already answered itself if it had to be posed.
