there is a person on this site I go on claiming to be a Proboards Admin but nobody believes him... He keeps saying that he'll delete the site because the admin is underage, but there are four admins and three of them are of age... He's also claiming that our christmas banner is a violation...

You should put Att: A/C in the subject line to get their attention

He is right in the fact that having members under the age of 13 is against the ToS, and as there is a staff member admitting to being 11 years of age, the site will be deleted.

But the other admins are over the age of thirteen... They basically run the site!

>_> I seen this site yesterday and really didn't take much notice.

If the owner is under 13 then take away her site, probably ruin her fun but the Law is the Law.

Forum is horrible too, yes she's 13 but I think my 10 year old brother could come up with a better colour scheme then that.

If she's under 13 take it away and let that be that.

I went back to the site for a look at the 11-year-old, and she is just a Global Moderator.

[MBME]

its not not allowed if a forum has a person under the age of 13 the forum is against the TOS in this case it makes it even worse that the person under age is a moderator

[sparky615]

The site was created before that rule, though, so everybody under the age of thirteen has to leave?

[Sasafrass452]

That rule has always existed. It was only enforced more when PBV4 was released, & all members are required to enter their birthday when registering. The entire site will be deleted, & you can't get it back. Sorry, rules are rules. If even one member is underage, whether they're an admin, moderator, or just a member, that's a violation of TOS & warrants closure of the forum.

Like mentioned earlier, this age rule has always been at proboards ever since Patrick started this forum. All forum providers and other internet business's must comply with the COPPA rule pertaining to underage members. Have a look at this link to see why anyone under 13 needs to have there account deleted. www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/coppa.htm

Then why, when you are creating a proboards website, is there an option for you to have your site under the genre of 'Kids'?

Well ages 13 and up are allowed to join. I'd say a 13 year old is still a kid till they hit highschool. I don't mean to soud rude though.

[cliffy]

really...hmm, 13? i think they try to act mature, thats' why (ha) it's considered not kiddish, and one more thing : PPL SHOULD TRY TO BE LIKE ME AND ACT KIDDY (u get younger and u live longer) hahahaah
