I'd suggest an age limit to at least put up for the free periods and/or white listing? I'd suggest that 14-16 around there be the minimum age as told by any "join this server"post. Obviously not the current members below that "limit" as it will be really impossible to enforce anyways but I think that putting that minimum would discourage a lot of griefers and annoying people? Even if it was just added that it was the min age limit without really enforcing would turn away a good number I would think. Yes/no good/bad? Lets hash this out...
I think it could work, but I don't approve of it. D0rc is only 13, so we shouldn't let him on the server. Just because we get a few bad apples out of the bunch doesn't mean we should not let the future players who fall in that demographic not play as well. You can even go as far as that there are high chances that the last few people that were banned were from the USA, so we should not let them play? Kinda of prejudice in a way. Just my thoughts.
lol, yeah, this is a server for the entire community, the reason for all the rules about swearing are so much of a big deal is that this community is for users of all ages, and that won't change. And lol, I'm proof that not all users below the age of 14 are bad/stupid/griefers, you just have to give them a chance.
I dont see how age has to do with anything. I see 12 year olds who are much more mature than half the people on the server. But then I see the 12 year olds who are complete arrogant kids... It all depends on your maturity and how you display yourself on the internet. Therefore, I dont think that having an age restriction would do anything beneficial at all besides and it would reduce our player count.
