Most of the people I've banned have been overage (or underage, in which case the ban wears off around the time they turn 13), or advertising bots.

Banning for reasons other than that usually takes a pretty serious offense, and prior infractions for similar offenses. Most commonly those offenses would have to do with being a total creeper and asking members for inappropriate pictures or to cam with them, but it can happen for way excessive trolling/spamming too. Other than that, most offenses aren't typically ban-worthy.

[Grinchilla]

people are banned once they turn 18?

:O

[Rutherford The Brave]

Because they do not follow the rules. No if you join between the age of 13-19 you are allowed to stay for a longer period of time, but if you join uder or over that you are banned.

[Grinchilla]

is it OK if I was 18 when I joined? hypothetically cuz I'd still technicallly be a teen, righ t?

[Kaleidoscope Eyes]

As long as you are 19 or younger when you register you're fine.

[Grinchilla]

What if I'm 31 and going to school to be a gynaecologist? Since most of these askers should really be seeing a doctor.

[Kaleidoscope Eyes]

Being a student in med school is not the same thing as being an actual doctor. Since we also cannot verify anyone's identity for sure, just saying, "Oh, I'm a doctor, I'd like to give advice on your site," isn't going to cut it. For all we know they're a total creeper.

This isn't a place to get legitimate medical advice from medical professionals. We help with the things we can but mostly we offer support/info and advise you to seek medical help when necessary. This is a support site, not an e-diagnosis site. Talking to a gynecologist (as an example) online isn't the same as actually seeing one, besides. They can't do tests, they can't look at suspicious bumps and whatnot, and they can't prescribe treatment if its necessary. It won't replace seeing a real doctor, and it's not necessary to have doctors on hand here.

No, there are more than a few active members in their 20s. Just as long as they're not being creepers we let 'em stay and spread their well aged knowledge of the worlds :P

Exactly, what you getting at? Lol

[Wonder.]

Sorry for bringing this up but...

If I didn't lie saying I was 13 when I was really 12 when I joined I would've been banned?

(I said I was 13 because I thought I needed help badly.)

[Bougainvillea]

If you're thirteen now, then I don't think it counts. There a few other members who've done the same.

[Kaleidoscope Eyes]

If you had admitted to being 12, you would have been banned for a year so that you would be 13 when it wore off. It's a legal thing, having to be 13 before you can post on a forum like this without parental consent.

If you're 31 and joining this site, I'd ban you for being over age. It doesn't matter what you say you are, we just don't know for sure.
