@Pokemonfan22226, due to child protection law, websites have to take security very seriously in regards to minors. Most sites prefer to simply disallow minors from making accounts, which is why you can not create a Fandom account without acknowledging that you are over the age of 13. When these users say "I'm 12" in a comment, they admit lieing to create an account. In itself, it does not sound like a big deal, but if the admins are made aware and do not act to ban the account, they could potentially be in some very serious trouble. I'm pretty sure it's the COPPA act, if you want to look it up, but I see it pretty much everywhere on the Internet. At the end of the day, the potential fines for breaching it could literally ruin the company behind this website. Someone has likely actually reported them; but at that point, the moderators hands are literally tied. 12ie has to go, sorry. Come back in 1 year.
