Why is this age limit set dammit!?

PsychicHeart · Wed 01/06/2005 06:39:08

okay, let me start by saying i am a mature person.
now, let me say that i think this 16+ age limit thingo that Andail and a bunch of other hippocrits have been doing is stupid. I mean, just because i'm under the age of 16, i should be cast out as a freak? No, i shouldn't.
But for some reason, i am.

HillBilly · Wed 01/06/2005 06:57:48

That's because you act like you're twelve, and all this insulting the moderators business is very immature. Same goes for your threads. Now, I don't mean to be rude to you, but most of this is probably your own fault. Do more lurking around before posting new topics, and stop complaining.

You'll grow out of it, and that's why we have age limits.

AGA · Wed 01/06/2005 07:03:43

You are not a mature person. End of discussion.

Nacho · Wed 01/06/2005 07:08:14

There have been some loved members that were under 16. The age is an issue just when somebody behaves in an inmature way.

Gilbert · Wed 01/06/2005 07:10:53

Like CJ wrote before, the age limit was set because of LAW.
So it's written rule for these forums, however, it's not enforced strictly unless someone tends to flood the forums with immature junks. If a member can keep his manner and post in a mature way, we hardly ever care to check his age, however, according to your previous posts you're obviously not a mature enough person.

Gregjazz · Wed 01/06/2005 07:14:51

If you were that mature of a person, I don't think you'd be that upset by the age limit.

PsychicHeart · Wed 01/06/2005 07:15:12

what,
so just because i spoke out about the fact that moderators treat anyone under 16 like garbage makes me immature?

Gilbert · Wed 01/06/2005 07:17:47

No, not only that, actually.
But " i spoke out about the fact that moderators treat anyone under 16 like garbage" is enough reason.

[Cameron] · Wed 01/06/2005 07:37:26

I'm treated like grabage? :O

PsychicHeart · Wed 01/06/2005 07:40:57

well,
seeing as your under 16, they probably loathe you behind your back.
they think that anyone under 16 is an immauture idiot. Now, i'm no pschologist, but this is pathetic. Seriously, anyone who wants to eliminate the evil evil evil forces of Locking Threads send me a PM.

Andail · Wed 01/06/2005 07:45:10

Flukeblake, you have failed to keep a low profile in the past, now do your best to repair it.
All of this just makes our actions against you more justified.

And don't PM me more insults and curses, that's a warning.

PsychicHeart · Wed 01/06/2005 07:50:33

this is pathetic.
for a "dignified" forum, there are a lot of jerks. why do we even care about this age limit? It makes no sense. Who cares how old someone is? I bet that if an 8 year old registered in these forums, he would have more sense,goodwill and acceptance than almost all of you. this is pathetic.

Haddas · Wed 01/06/2005 07:51:23

Flukeblake, don't you see? By doing things like this you seem MORE immature! I wasn't 16 when I joined here. I was very immature. But then I grew out of it... I think. Did I? $:-\$

DGMacphee · Wed 01/06/2005 07:52:18

If you don't like it, go somewhere else. CJ pays for these forums and has appointed mods to do a job. They do their job very well. All of them. They don't need some whiney 12 year old telling them how to do their jobs.

You think that they're treating you "like a freak". No. They're not. They're treating you like someone who hasn't got a proper grasp of the English language who comes in here and demands everyone pay attention without following the rules set here. For example, your damn signature images is still too big. You still haven't changed it even after you've been told to by Darth. Not only that, you start some of the most illogical threads. You act like a troll. And then you demand to to be treated like a mature person.

I mean, when you go over to people's houses, do you immediately start jumping all over the furniture and demand the host to bring you some pie? No. Because you'd show some respect since it's their house. Same with this place. There are people who have been here a lot longer than you and can abide by the rules set by CJ and fellow oldies here. It's because they respect this place. You obvious show no respect. So why should we treat you like a mature person when you obviously have no respect for us and our rules?

Just find another forum to waste your time in. This place isn't for you. Go start a livejournal or something and write some bad poetry like all the other 12 year olds are doing. Hell, at least their poetry is amusing.

I'm sorry to tell you, Flukeblake, but people don't respond to the things you do because you're under 16. They respond to you because of the way you act. The age limit is not necessarily how old you are, it's how old you act. If you want respect here, you're going to have to stop making threads like this and you're definately going to have to stop bothering the moderators and being rude.
If you don't like the way the moderators do their job, then I'd suggest you try a different forum. This one obviously isn't for you.

=The=Brat= · Wed 01/06/2005 08:45:32

look im 11 and im not exactly mature either but if you continue to talk to moderators like that you will be gone before you know it!

Ishmael · Wed 01/06/2005 09:04:06

You've been told who-know-how many times about the way you behave around here, and none of the suggestions I've seen you actually follow. You see TheBrat499 here admits he's not that mature yet. But atleast he's followed the suggestions made to him by older, more experienced forum member and, most importantly, the moderators.

I remind thou again, the "Start new topic" option is a privilege, not a right.

I remember a time where most Elite members weren't so particuliar about the English language either. That's not a very good reason.

I have no standing to say this at all, but despite Flukeblake's blatant immaturity, I'm a bit appalled everybody decided to take a moral high ground over him. Can't anybody say "been there, done that"? And though you all mean well by defending this forum and community's honor, why throw oil on the fire?

I mean stuff like this, which somewhat implies that it what *this* particular post that got him in trouble ... *sigh*

(Seems like Ishmael's post is one of the only ones that doesn't try to give a lesson.)

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but you're coming across as the jerk in the situation, not anyone else.

I'm sure the people here are not haters of people under 16 years old. We just don't want immature posts. Simple as that.

why not? everyone else has.

well, i guess my only option now is to stop posting threads. But before i do, i think i should tell everyone what i think. If no moderators "policed" the forums, or at least they didn't have the power of the 'Lock Thread' option, these threads would be so much better.
Well, in the immortal words of Bugs Bunny, that's all folks.
