Let's pretend he never spams, like all other members never spam. He still 15. The website is 18 since we will have convo that are not suitable for a boy that young.
That 18+ nonsense is just a way for Luna to escape liability, seeing as we can't really prove their age without a dox. She wanted it to be like one of those "Click here if you're 18" buttons... without the button.
Luna started here at age 16, and look how well she's doing now.
How come you think the ban would be unfair, when in fact, it would just be a way to help his character developt ?
Character development from sheltering him? That seems more like it'd give room for regression.
I can't imagine someone that young grow up reading all that crap we write here. I am pretty sure it won't make him a better person.
As one of those kids who was allowed to watch Rated R movies when I was little, I'd say there's a fair amount of room for growth. I browsed weird places when I was growing up and out of it I became more informed instead of more damaged. Exposure can be healthy if the person is able to handle what they see.
What is "a better person" to you?
Edit: Don't take it personal, but it seems you are being selfish right now. You like his presence because you think it's fun. Have you stopped to think how bad this website is for him ?
I dunno, forums are what ramped up my typing speed and made me become better at writing papers. It's also a decent place to learn about what people are capable of without (necessarily) bridging the gap.
