As you all most likely know, I am a fairly new moderator. I have no where near as much experience with the rules, or way they exist, as even some the regular users. However, one thing I know is that the rules as a whole need some serious revisions. But this is not why I am making this thread.

This thread is more about two rules we have pertaining to the ToU of Wikia as whole. We happen to enforce the rule that a user must be at least 13 years or older, however, we as moderators and admins have no real way of enforcing this rule do to the fact that we cannot ask ages as it is classified as "Socilting information". I would like to suggest that if a moderator/admin has suspicion that a user is underage, then they have the ability to ask that users age so that we may enforce the minimum age rule.

However, if there is no probable reason for suspicion, then the age asking rule is still "enforced" for both moderators and users.

I understand this may get some opposition because this appears to place right holders above the average user, but this is not my intention. It is solely so that we may enforce the rules of this wiki to the best of our ability, which is restricted due to contradictory rules.
