Thanks for the info. I knew you had to enter a birthdate on some of these Discussions. Hopefully parents will monitor what those under 17 is doing on this forum as well as the Internet.
We check too and have caught out a few who thought the previous honesty with their age would go unnoticed when it got tweaked to something older so they could peek in the adult forums...
As WP is an international site the definition of "child" is practically impossible to nail down and so this, along with the impracticalities involved with actual age verification, really means that the posted age restriction serves as a warning/strong hint.
Also, I expect any youngster having a peek would come away extremely disappointed because there are also rules governing the subjects and details even adults are permitted there.

But, I must say, that the children on this discussion board is very well behaved and act very mature. That is a real plus here. I just see a bunch of spoiled brats who don't care what they say to others on other boards. So kudos to all of the children who work this board.
Agreed - the general level of maturity expressed here by even the very young gives me hope for the future.
