Would you want an eleven-year-old to hear talk about something along the lines of sex? No, then why let the offenders stay on the chat? I've never understood why children should be sheltered from anything having to do with sex. Isn't violence much worse? One is pleasurable, whereas the other causes pain and suffering. I'd rather have my child exposed to the former than the latter. But I digress.

Prohibiting discussion of sexual topics to "protect" children who are not old enough to use Wikia is ridiculous. We should be determining whether or not they need to be reported, not stopping everything to cater to them. This isn't to say I oppose the sex talk rule. Oh no. My point is that banning any form of sex talk because of underaged users is not a valid reason for the rule to stay in place. The smartest of them don't give their age. For all I know, you could be an 11-year-old with a massive amount of intelligence. But an admin must assume under good faith that you are of age.

No, it isn't a valid reason for the rule to stay in place. But Wikia's community guidelines forbids extreme/graphic sexual talk, other's personal comforts, and the fact that it is not expressly fobidden, but limited, are.
