Plus you didn't even get posts counted there. You could tell the people who were like that if they were active a lot and had a low post count. Anyways, Spam is gone, and civility is returning here. I think...

Fact: Without spam, there will be more spammy messages in other boards.

Most of the spam that has come up recently has mostly been in retaliation to what could be a temporary decision.  Otherwise some of it could be explained by how spammy topics get archived or praised for humor.  Regardless, there will always be violations of the rules, and that is why moderators exist.

Well, lets say im an 11 year old kind who have a funny he heardat school. Before, he would have posted it in spam. Now he has to post it somewhere else. He could not post it, but think about it: Hes an 11 year old.

Also, sorry for OT, but what so different about the rules? The only differences I can see is the slightest infraction gets you banned. and I cant find anything about posting spam olo.

LynkW, an 11 year old should not even be here because of COPPA.  The new rules are supposed to be easier to read, at least that is what I think.  They seem alright, although the formatting near the bottom could have been done so that there is not that gap between words, but that is an aesthetic issue, and I am just being unnecessarily picky.

However, there is the signing of the COPPA form, thus allowing a person under 13 years of age to legally make use of this forum.

If they can at least go through that process, there is also a good chance that they can follow other rules.  If they cannot, they can be dealt with accordingly.  There is always some leniency to new users because they are new to the place and thus new to the rules.  If they repeat behavior even after being referenced to the rules, they can be dealt with just like everyone else.

True, you make a very good point. However, there is one more argument. It pertains to the fact that some younger children know enough about the world wide web and the COPPA rules, and the fact that they will simply lie that they are of older age. The only problem then is, that one can probably put one and one together and conclude that the said member is avoiding COPPA if he or she posts in such manner of a young person, including my earlier point of the Fifth Grader's joke being posted.

Although you could assume that the person is younger based on their posting style, it is a little bit of generalization to assume someone's age based on the intelligence of their post content.  Maturity to some degree can be derived from post content, and if a user repeats their behavior, I would assume myself that lying about their age would be to their detriment.  If someone who claims to be 19, for example, is posting spam repeatedly, they should know better and will not be given the benefit of the doubt as often.  As for enforcing COPPA if a user reveals there age to be below it, I would think that is up to staff.  If the user is being belligerent and uncontrollable, then kicking them out would be agreeable.  If they were not, then since they provided two ages to the forum, it is indeterminable legally in terms of which age provided is the correct one, so letting them stay would be fine.

If he's an 11 year old, the joke probably isn't funny to begin with <_<;; not to sound like a DICK or anything lol

Also, the COPPA is just for legal ramifications; WE can still set an age cap, and we personally do not feel comfortable with users under 14 here. We've got a couple obvious exceptions that were here before the rule changes, and theres no problem with that. However for liabilities sake, 14 is the age requirement.

With the age cap, what is the fate of the existing members under 14? Do they just get a pardon?

He said that users who are here under the age cap prior to the setting of the age cap are given exception.

The majority are, but some of them we have already asked for COPPA forms which have been provided.

My view is as follows:

Members who are 13 years of age are old enough to legally be on the forums, in regards to US and some international laws, asking that users be 13 years or old to register on a website (or anywhere on the internet) that may collect private data.

My personal feeling is this: The content of this forum is sometimes subjective to a mature content, and thus we have capped the age to 14. Users who are between the ages of 13 and 14 and are currently registered will be unaffected by this.

Since this forum is private, we have the ability to restrict age of anyone or anyone at all not on the basis of age from accessing this forum.

One thing I find really strange is, people who actually posted in spam, or have posted in spam, are all like "YAY IT'S GONE OMG YES YES YES" *celebration*

Yeah I actually find that amusing too...

Although <_< I have noticed a considerable amount of spam being posted outside of it now; although most of those have resulted in bans.
