Oh...haha Am I really? Last time I checked I only have two and if she was one of them I feel bad cuz with this whole TM change I haven't really paid much attention. A 12 year old is definitely still a kid in my eyes...even 13 (though you are now considered a teen). lol
I'll ponder more about this...got a busy 3 day week so I'll decide by wednesday afternoon. {up}

Yeah sorry I didn't like how I worded that post. I'm sorry if I sounded rude or anything. I was just going by what I was like when I was that age, but I realise now that not everyone is like that.

Sorry, I didn't mean I was laughing at you hayley.

At 12 you ARE starting to think your parents know nothing and you think you are "mature" and can make your own decisions.

Some kids' parents don't care, but we might at least ASK people their age before we promote them to TM. {up}

Hayley I don't think she was laughing at you. BossC makes a very good point. While there are those kids who will tell their parents everything including websites they visit there will be kids who either don't need to because parents don't care or can get by without having to tell them. It does have a lot to do with upbringing and such for sure.
I think it's reasonable to demote her until she reaches the age limit, but who's to say there aren't others under the limit, so we'd need to ensure that everyone has hit 13 before we can actually demote him/her for that reason. {up} Just my thought.

You were hiding the sites you viewed online at twelve? :? That's quite shocking to me. I'm sorry but everyone has different upbringings so you shouldn't laugh at me because I didn't keep secrets from my parents at that age.

Could we at least demote them until they hit that age limit? I seem to remember a while back that someone in authority was underaged and normal members were mad about it. Gives the site a bad name. :(

Yes that's true. And I just remembered Admin saying if someone is under 13 but they got their parents permission then they are fine to be members. I'm sure her parents would keep track of the sites she visits at her age, and if she's still a regular visitor here then they must be ok with it!

I dont think theres really anything we can do. I dont think admin would let you ban someone for that reason
