At the same time I also expect her to act respectfully towards others. I find it sad and pathetic that the wiki community is forced to discuss placing a mature rating and banning teenagers/children because parents choose to not pay attention to what the kid is doing. Honestly I don't think that we have the right to decide who can and who can not use the site. Once that happens then its not a free site, might as well take it off wikia and make it private then. But say if you would like to place a maturity rating and perhaps enforce a common courtesy rule in which no swearing degeratory remarks of any kind racism sexisim and/or  insulting or demeaning language is allowed and is a call for action against the offending party. Now that I feel not only do we have the right to enforce but also have the responsability to enforce. To me this shouldn't be about protecting a bunch of adult and near adult gamers from annoying children, its about protecting children from each other but also from some of you. I have seen posts made by people talking about what they would like to do to Braith sexually, (thats a child for the love of god, have some self restraint.) Honestly every one on here has been childish and inappropiate at one time or another in your life.

Part of the problem is with anonymity on the internet kids think they can say and do whatever they want without fear of real repercussions. Unfortunatly they are all in for a real surprise when within the next 10 years we will be seeing your identity automatically tagged to your online profiles. I think you blew this way out of proportion. And I honestly don't think this is a huge deal to anyone. We're just saying that this is a website about a game that is rated Mature. As such, the content on this page is Mature. So we should put up a caution and an age requirement. If you allow your kids to play the game and they're under 18 then you'll allow them to be on this website. And whereas you do monitor your children's actions other parents don't. So we should at least put up a barrier saying what is on this wiki. You're being irrational. All we're saying is that the content on here is going to be for a mature audience. But this is the internet so no matter what. Kids are still gonna be on here.

Maybe instead of an age requirment we should put up an advisory or a caution you know? We shouldn't have to restrict ourselves for a younger audience. I want to be able to say what I want. So we should just let kids know that that's something thats gonna be on here. Parents will know if they keep up on their kids. If not, they're gonna be on here anyways so it doesn't really matter. This comment by UclaRhi was not blown out of proportion. Many of the comments on this thread proposed to ban all 14 and younger people from this wiki. This comment addressed that. Do not blame one person for 'blowing this way out of proportion'  because it's not.

Now, the advisory or caution comment, I definetly agree with. Of course there should be an advisory, just as the games warn of mature content. Just, please, do not make this an age requirement website.
