Hello my fellow blocktopians!

I hope this post finds you in good health, and that you are having a good day, as you read this! Now, on with the matter at hand!

As you may be aware, we ask for your date of birth when you sign up to the forums. Please check your profile and make sure your date of birth is set correctly. If it is not, you can get in touch with me through PM to correct it. (in most cases, this won't be an issue.)

-edit-

Let me state this again, if your D.O.B isn't right, contact me through pm, (That means through the forum pm system. A message in IRC / in this thread won't get noticed. To whomever messaged me in IRC, try again through the forums) Also, for the love of god, give me your proper date. Don't just go "Oh it's like I'm like 156 years older, could you like fix it?" Cos I hate doing math, damnit.

-end edit-


Giving us false information WILL come back to bite you in the rear side if a problem arises, because we don't appreciate being lied to. When a problem arises, seeing as this is the internet, we tend to assume malicious intent, if we find we've been given false information at some point. So, I'm asking you this not just to make things easier on us, but also to help yourself out should a problem arise at some point in the future.

There's recently been a few people with a fake D.O.B. that have gotten into trouble. This has caused some issues, and we tend to lock / moderate / prevent those people from using the forums, once the original issue caused is resolved.

Now, some of you may ask why we do this, so I'll make a quick recap: We do this for Three reasons.

1: We, as a rule, don't tend to allow young ones under 11 to sign up. (Because frankly, we're at times inappropriate for a lot of people younger then that, and we want a certain level of maturity in our members.)

2: It gives us an indication of the level of maturity we can expect if there is an issue. I don't approach a 12 year old the same way I do a 16 year old.

3: Boring stuff so we have a safety net in case of a serious issue.

And that's pretty much it.

So please check your date of birth. Even if it's not set to show your age on your profile, head staff can still access it to check if needed... so don't think that will save your bacon.... mmmmhmmmm... bacon....

If there's anyone reading this thread, thinking that we'll look down on you or will judge you diffrently for your age; don't. Or atleast, I won't. I'll judge you for your behaviour, and if you post on here saying you're actually 12 and not 21, then I'd apreciate you for it. Don't be afraid to show who you are, we're a caring community if we can all relate ;)

It's amazing the amount of people who need to have their age adjusted by two-plus years... and have no idea how it happened. *rolls eyes* It's one hell of a typo if you manage to just skip an entire key... just saying. It happened cos you wanted to seem older than you are and now don't want to say so, most likely... you silly noobs! Still, thanks for coming foreward, much oh grassy ass. (Mucho Gracias)

That said, kudos and respect to the people who actually gave me a legit reason for doing it. It's appreciated.

Lastly, folks, just because you're young, or old, we won't like you any more or less. At most, I'd be a bit nicer to you if you mess up, and you're young.

An important thing to note is that, in almost any case, you won't get in trouble for giving staff correct information. If you need your age changed because you fudged it by a couple of years back in '09 in order to be above the minimum age, nobody's gonna chase you down for that. The rules are there to keep things running smoothly, so unless you faked your age in order to cause trouble, you won't punished.

Lemme know if I'm outta line here, Deadl0ck
