I can't believe I noticed this now...

Everybody clicks on the I agree button when they join wikia to their ToU and nobody really gives a crud. But we're agreeing that we are 13 years of age or older and that we are mature enough in that regard to join wikia.

Those who break those boundaries are lying to Wikia. Wikia can't monitor every single person and they must be roaming out there like worms. It doesn't make them any better than their lies that they portray when they join.

COPPA is put in place to protect children on these websites. Society might be changing, but Wikia still wants to make sure otherwise. If we break that by letting users we see that are underage on, we could risk a ban ourselves for not following Wikia's rules.

This site is hosted by Wikia. No matter what you say, this site is hosted by wikia. Wikia's rules still apply here as we agreed to when we joined it. When you clicked yes as to creating an account, you clicked I agree to Wikia's rules.

People usually don't care "oh great their thing's 10-15,000 words, I'm not reading it" and I didn't read it either but I understood the inital gist of it when I was 13! If you are under the age of 13 when creating an account to wikia, this is literally what it says in their ToU:

'In any case, you confirm that you are over the age of 13, and acknowledge that the Service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. You may not use the Service and may not accept the Terms of Use if you by law are barred from using the Service or accepting the Terms of Use. '

'[...]In addition, the Service is intended solely for users who are thirteen (13) years of age or older. Any registration by anyone under 13 is unauthorized, unlicensed and in violation of this Agreement. By registering for the Service Site, you represent and warrant that you are 13 or older and that you agree to and to abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. '

Which means that when IMM turns 13 this year in December, he will be able to join and until then he is violating the rules. It is only one more year for him. Violating these rules, even by us older people who should be following this example given to us when we join, could result in bad things for us as well.

Like I said and like's what's clearly obvious, this site is hosted by wikia and has the same ToU as it and any other wikia under these same bounds. We have to follow the rules when we join and when we click "I accept" is when you agree to follow these rules and their principles even if you don't like it.

Otherwise, we could possibly risk bans ourselves.

So we follow thes rules and keep IMM out until December of this year, or risk a ban for us not following them. Even if we're above 13 and have the maturity to have agreed to this, we still need to keep in mind Wikia put this law in to make their website as safe as they possibly can. Us breaking these rules makes us no better than him.
