The considerations in catering to children vs. teenagers are comparable in significance to the considerations in catering to teenagers vs. adults, and serving children under 13 has never been one of this community's goals. Opening MLP Forums to all ages would be an almost equally "interesting" paradigm shift with just as many potential pitfalls - legalities aside, consider how you'd feel about discussing complex headcanon with 4-year-olds. This being a 'family-friendly site' is likely a perception and culture that may have organically evolved over time. It's a really interesting question if it stemmed from the original burst of fans. Whether it was community driven or staff driven. I honestly don't know, but that was the perception with I first joined. As far as the under 13 year olds, you know my views on that. I've seen my fair share of incoherent children who lied about their age during registration. You and I have always agreed on the importance of post quality in general. Some younger children can write well. Some ... well ... look at the suspended members list. As a funny aside I have a neice that age who likes the show. I have tried to talk to her about deeper themes. @___@ She wants everyone to be a princess. Not sure if she would fit in or not. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about preserving the moral integrity of the site and respecting the desires of the majority of users and the majority of users don't want this site to host pony porn and your 14 and you want this site to allow you to view pony porn on here WTF! Yea, it is. The kids I've interacted with think they will be a professional sports player. Heh. Good luck. I'm just mad how everyone acts around me. These kids need to face the fact that there is a small chance of them getting in. Discussion. Not porn. The conversation shifted when someone said that I meant full blown clop.

PiratePony 8,475 March 30, 2017 Share March 30, 2017 This thread has been locked at least temporarily. Discussing this issue pertaining to NSFW 18+ was fine - discussing it with a child is not. We need to discuss this amongst outselves more thoroughly. 18 Courtesy of @Sparklefan1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
