I got banned for being under 13. I was under 13, and let alot of mods know it. I didn't get banned. Plus, this forum isn't exactly PG-13 if you know what I mean.

For a while they didn't care about the age of members. And although the forum isn't PG-13, usually G and occasionally PG, it does go against Proboards TOS to allow members under the age of 13. There was no flexibility.

They won't usually get involved without receiving a report of TOS violation. They are within their rights as we all must agree to the TOS to demand (please notice I didn't say ask) that any thing that breaks TOS be removed that includes under age members. And the board may also be removed, as kaneda mentioned there was no other option on the part of the DH staff. its more or less standard procedure it helps make sure ProBoards is less likely to be sewed.

And the funny thing about Proboards is they allow things that are PG-13. like my stories. So I think some concerned parents should check the ToS before they call out innuendos and such. I really think people who do that are real b****'s. I'm in a bad mood.

Most totally harmless sites that involve forum chatting in some way, shape, or form require you to be over 13 or have parental permission. Even Neopets only allows users who are over 13 or have parental permission to use the boards, and that's just about the farthest away you can get from a porn site.

Personally, most members of DH under the age of 18 are pretty capable of handling themselves. Sure they might be a bit eh when they're new (like I was) but they grow and develop social etiquette.
However, some older members in their 40's or whatever, are probably too condescending and dramatic about the smallest things.

It's fun to make up Mary Sues to beat up and make fun of in RPs, though. XD
