https://gametechmods.com/forums/site-news-and-feedback/idea-to-noob-proof-the-forum-(skbt's-dumb-idea)/msg308235/#msg308235
has been suggested before. wasn't reasonable then, isn't reasonable now

also quote from kill
Quote
"Noob-Proofing" the forum is both outside our means and outside the realm of good ideas.

Age limit - People can lie very easily. Claim they're 13 or something like that, and just like that the system fails.

Besides, what you call noob proofing I call a destructive tendency. It is incredibly prejudiced to assume that every new person who is under a certain age is a noob, just as it's prejudiced to assume that someone who knows nothing of RA2 is going to be a headache for all of us. Isn't that what this forum is for, to learn?

If we implemented any sort of noob proofing measure, ESPECIALLY the ones mentioned in this thread, who knows what kind of future we might be destroying. I know for a fact that I was 12 when I signed up, and I knew nothing about RA2 that's worth mentioning. I've had to say this a million times now, but we were ALL noobs once, even if it wasn't here on GTM. We will not be closing off registration to anybody.

I actually agree with this.

Anyone over the age of 15 is not allowed to post.

I agree with adding an age barrier. Although I don't know what that means

Wen is the best argument against an age limit tbh

It's really easy to fake your age though.
I don't think it would work.

It means kids can't get onto this forum. Aren't you a kid yourself. It  though you would be against this

No I'm not a kid. OK maybe a tad but I'm not the youngest here

Hard to tell as moat people wouldn't give their ages as willingly as you. When you say a tad I assume you mean like I'm guessing 12

a lot of good members joined when they were very young and developed into important contributors to the forum

if the options are give them time or not let them in I think the decision should be pretty obvious
