I have always sought to attribute this to a personal flaw of pessimism, but ever increasingly over the years the conclusion that all humans are filth is revalidated. I am not saying everyone who posted in this topic did so wrongly, but just because you report something doesn't mean that your report and the suspicions in your report are fully valid. Further, while a suspicion might end up being confirmed later, that doesn't make the unsubstantiated suspicion of the past any more valid. Additionally going vigilante over trolls and spamming in a topic where you are calling them out is ugly. It is worse when there is a perceived double standard, that those with some staff inclination can get away with doing it but if a regular member does it then suddenly they should be cracked down on.
About the age rule, the SMF Terms of Service and COPPA apply to those under the age of 13 (which is 12 and under).
Also geez, this topic was supposed to be about Epona dammit and got all derailed. No one even mentioned .TakaM's edit of Epona running and stopping. Anyway yeah, we don't delete accounts. This topic is too messy to clean up so I am just going to lock it.
