Concerns on the OS chat and fourms.

[Pricerocks]

I was meaning to make a thread like this actually.

I don't mean to discriminate in any way, but a lot of the new users are issues. Mostly because a lot of them are middle schoolers, however it's very annoying when there's always a group of 3-5 people spamming random stuff. (ex. "FRIDGE" "FORK" "SPOON" "OVEN")

This doesn't happen that often however it's a bit irritating when you're trying to have a serious conversation about music and there's a bunch of children in chat talking about everything but music. The occasional off topic conversation is okay, but when everybody in chat is just there because they think this is just a chat website, it's a bit irritating.

Maybe there should be a lower age limit for the chatroom but I feel that would cause more problems than solve.

We have the age limit in part because we legally have to: https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse...rule-coppa
However, even if we didn't, it wouldn't be worthwhile to allow users under 13 because a good portion of the people we ban for non-coppa reasons are likely under 13 anyways.
