How can you be so sure that a user is telling the truth just by asking the age? You'll never know the actual age in this virtual environment.
I can be a 10 yo kid pretending to be 18 or vise versa.
I hope you get my point. Age restriction can be stated there but...
It is a responsibility (rather own choice) of the user whether he/she wants to join here regardless of age.
On the issue of racism, curses and slurs, how can I not respond to those hindi curses from other users? This cannot be avoided because of our differences (religion, race, gender, views, etc). I have been here for quite some time so I know some of the hindi curses (from the old livechat and banter) so I just respond in kind.
On the issue of of "ban on sight". This is clearly outrageous and a demonstration of mod-abuse. Yes, i noticed that the ban period resets after a day or two, but if you are banned consecutively (for no apparent reason), is already too much. I have been banned for three days in a row (this monday to wednesday) right after logging in.
I want to know who this mod is. Such audacity ha! You are not the owners of this site. You are making this rather unusable for other users. He/she should be removed from the list of mods.
