This is madness.

Don't do it.

I have two kids, and I will keep them off social media until they can tap me out.

I honestly think this site should be for adults only.

Can I get an Amen?

I agree, didn't think of this function when we implemented the limitations for non-adults. I have now removed the "request friendship" button for non-adults.

A few more initiatives that was on my list, which I implemented just now. Was easier than I had originally imagined :)

- Non-adult profiles will no longer show points count after having received enough of them. If they require 50 for verification, it will show 50+/50 points, even if they have 10k
- Non-adult profiles will no longer show votes and comments they have received.

All of this is of course still stored in the system and will automatically be visible once the owner of the profile turns 16.

That's great! Very good idea

Excellent Christian! Thanks for jumping on this.

I think it's really important to get this site 'right'. As a counter-balance to the many toxic social media platforms out there.

For people who'd like to know more about the rational behind my OP. Please check out The Center for Humane Technology (of The Social Dilemma fame), and their podcast Your Undivided Attention...

Jorgen let's leave the names out of it. It's not the kid's fault. Can you edit your post?

I believe her account was suspended because of her parent's antics (making a fake black belt account and using it to neg one of her opponents).

The account will be reinstated when she turns 16.
