We are legally obligated to ban underage users. Many do not take COPPA seriously, but the fact of the matter is that there is if a wiki refuses to acknowledge COPPA laws, or modifies it in any way to impede the law's intended purpose, then the wiki is opening up channels for legal action should a minor's personal information ever be revealed. Will legal action be taken against this wiki specifically? No; Wikia will take the brunt of that. But I hope everyone realizes that should legal actions ever be taken because this wiki failed to abide by COPPA, then there is always the strong possibility that this wiki will be taken down. Temporarily or permanently is up for whatever particular situation arises.
