There was someone posting on here not too long ago, their profile suggests they are 15 and that they had a succubus from CH store. When I queried them about this, they stopped responding:

And there already is a Kids group, that's part of what I was confused about... lol. If the group exists it reasons to say that it should be used, but it doesn't seem to be applied very much. I wondered about its function, though now seems irrelevant.

I get if identification cannot be consistently applied unless they have a store account that is verifiable in some way, but then I would have to point out a potential issue here as apparently there are people younger than 18 getting away with purchasing from the CH store. I mean, that is it's own issue, but maybe something you would want to look into.

its* own issue! jeez Vipera get it together this isn't hard.

Anyway, I've come to the conclusion it can't easily be implemented to bring awareness to every minor in sight so if I have any question about someone's age I will personally just ask them or comment with that in mind.

Ideally, kids would have a special color to their name. There could be colors for tenured kids and non-tenured kids.

Besides helping the adult forum members respond in an age-appropriate fashion, it will help cut down on the instances where adults are advising, "Get this spirit, get that spell, buy this metaphysical book", only to receive the response that the user is a minor and their parents would absolutely forbid any such purchase taking place.

Having said that, we could refer said user to their local library, or even their school's library. You would be surprised at how many books about psychic phenomena I checked out from my Catholic high school's library over the years. I look back and wonder how those books landed in their collection in the first place, but hey. I got to read a bunch of books, so it's all good.

Our city library is closed right now, and I am not coping my best.
