    yo, please look at what the link said...

    there was no instance even of someone saying they where below 13.

    He is applying COPA guidelines to the letter and he is perfectly right in doing so. Better to err on the side of safety when it comes to child protection.

    agreed with regulations, but the sound test thing isnt even a 100% guarantee of even testing the age boundary of 25.

    i dont question the following of rules, only the gap between what was intended and what i see

    I think he felt like the thread was a "Hello I am 8 and can't hear a thing" waiting to happen... Some sick people just lurk these type of boards waiting to see stuff like that. Maybe it's because I have kids but I completely agree with the decision here.

    If g says no, g says no. The spacetime people give us way more leash than most other games, so I think its only fair they should do this when its necessary and trust them to do so.
