In all honesty, I think it depends on the overall maturity of the individual, somethings, in Creepypastas or any other wikia page are a little mature, violent or grotesque. Children should be able to realize where the should and shouldn't be. However, some children at 12 (At least from my own experience) are quite unintellegent and may run to their mothers screaming "THIS GUY SAID A BAD WORD AT ME" and that's just extra hastle for you on staff having to deal with. Also, if they're under 13 and they say they're over the age of 13, then that's against the policy and terms of condition. They shouldn't be on here if they're under 13 years old. I don't believe so, I've seen many children in chat and it's personally and maybe to others as well, VERY annoying and headache inducing. I wouldn't want to see a child or any of my little cousins seeing some of the threads that happen on here. It would most likely scar them and make them cry, which wouldn't do well for wikia's reputation or the children who've been scarred.
 * Should we ban users for saying that they are under a certain age in chat? What should that age be?
 * Is the current legislation in TES:CHAT about it being against the rules to reveal your age already enough?

Well I think it's all about the context, if someone gets angered at them and a fight breaks out and the conversation goes as so "What are you, 12 years old? You have the mental capacity of one" "Yeah I am 12 years old! Leave me alone!" then they should be banned from chat, using age as a factor to get out of something or using age to your advantage is REALLY low, and it shouldn't happen nor should it be incouraged. Members who are mature enough, no matter the age, should be accepted. But if they're going to use age as an advantage then they should be banned.
 * How should we approach the bans? Is somebody saying "I am twelve years old" one time, enough to solicit them being banned from chat?

In short, I think the behavior of the person is the factor that matters. The issue is children can easily be frightened, and we don't want that, that's bad for everyone.
