Member Ages
hey All,
I'm wondering what the rest of you guys and GM's sis think about the fact that a couple of new users list their ages as ten and eleven. Personally I think that either A: they are lieing about their ages or B: They are too young to be on a site like this as we do write about adult subjects that happen in films(Like some serious amounts of violence). I'm looking at it from a community responsibility angle. Basically I would be really leary about having a kid look at some of the Action movie pages. |

Public site, member or not they'd be able to see it anyway. I was watching action movies at taht age anyway. Most people let you see violent movies if theres no sex involved.

Exactly. I'm not really sure it's that big a deal.

I never understood why people don't censor violence but censor sex. More people plan to have sex in the future than kill other people, so shouldn't it be the other way around?
I too noticed some 10-year-olds on the site. They write like shit, have poor grammar, and contribute to the site's "flash game majority", which we all know should remain ZERO. I grew up young so at 15 you could consider me 20, at least, IMO. I should also point out, with the amount of porn and real-life violence you can find on the net, IMFDB isn't the worst thing they could be looking at.

Well i have a concern in that many free membership sites like Myspace or facebook have age restrictions so that YOUNG children are not mixed in with older children, minors and young adults. I'm just waiting for the inevitable member who is aged SEVEN. Is there ANY chance an internet watchdog group will condemn us for exposing 'minor's to gun violence? I'm not saying it's not stupid, but is it possible in this crazy world we live in?
But then like my golden retriever has dog years ... Gunmaster45 is 47 in armorer "years". |

If anyone's going to start saying how old they are, remember this, try not to explain your background too much, sometimes to people online, it sounds like you're bullshitting.
Like example "I'm 14, but I'm mature for my age." Don't say that, you'll be treated the same way. I prefer not saying how old you are at all and let your writing speak for yourself than your age number.
