I'd never leave a room populated by 0 children. That's stupid. The whole TES series is mature rated, banning people below 18 will not work and is counter productive. At most, we should be banning younger people, not older ones. >_> '''25 is younger. 18 is a baby to me. Ages are relative, and do not represent a level of maturity. Then again, this isn't about site wide banning, and just because you fall under scope of the comment doesn't mean anything is counter productive. Why can't we simply ban ANYONE who mentions their age? When is that EVER productive or condusive to ANYTHING? If you're mature enough to handle yourself, I'll never care how old you are, if you're not, it'll shine through without you ever saying an irrelevant number.'''

I'd never leave a room populated by 0 children. Quite a large amount of users are under the age of 18, and even more are under 25. Banning people under 18 would destroy the community, get rid of many editors, and even force several staff members to leave the wiki. Is it really logical to ban teenagers from a site for a video game series? '''Again; this isn't about site banning, it's about special:chat banning. They can edit/post what they like. '''

'''The game/series of ratings at 13+ are in place to keep underdeveloped minds from being exposed to themes, content, and images they may find deterimentally suggestive to the proper maturation of said minds. Who among us does not know an 18-25 that still deserves to be removed from content created for persons of 13+ with average maturity? Even if you don't know them personally, they're usually at the center of any story on your local news, have a watch sometime. Their numbers seem to grow yearly, and we can't issue effective personality tests, but bad apples rot more than just themselves if left in close proximity to others. To have an area devoid of immaturity here is a pipe dream at best, but it's worth shooting for....not to say I'm not guilty of it myself at times. Personally, as heat inrceases on anything, I get steadier and far more calm. I can't say that for more than a handful of people personally.'''

One more time:

'''Why does anyone here need to know your age as a numerical value when how you carry yourself will do just fine for an apporximation. Ban for the mention of unnecessary personal information, not a level of it.'''
