14 years olds?

[keywestcathy]

Since when is it appropriate for self proclaimed 14 year old children to be in the Chat room? I'm not that old but I question the wisdom of having school children participate in this venue of communication.
I sell books on growing hydroponic marijuana on the web but I have disclaimers on the site and really try and "weed" thru the orders so my ideas are not impacting and influencing someone else's children. Am I out of line here?

pretty much

hey cathy- 14 year olds are pretty much who i would expect in a chat room, whether its about weed, sex, or anything else. it seems that most chat rooms are either under 21 or over 40. go figure...

do i want to chat with them about smoking? no, which is why i don't go in there. if you're looking to chat with other adults, there are plenty of places that cater to us. or maybe you can start a "chat" thread and try to set up a time when more adults will want to hang out - that might lure some older people in.

and yeah its illegal for kids to smoke pot (for us too!), but they're going to do it anyway, so they might as well chat about it and have some fun.

[Encatuse]

Yeah. I'm totally with you on this one. In fact.. all cannabis sites should sponsor censorship... ((I bullshit you completely))

im 14, i think i got as much right as any of you do to smoke pot and chat about it if i wish

This is an 18 or over site, some of us get tired of babysitting.

[Encatuse]

Since when has this been a fucking 18+ site? And who hired you to babysit Kuulbns? There are tons of valued members here who are under 18. You want 18+? Go inside a smoke shop where they regulate that and have a nice chat with some of the 60 year old men there to get their cigars.

EDIT:

Anyone see an age requirement in this and I'm just missing it?

"The Message Boards is where over 5,000 people gather daily and is a great place to get your cannabis questions answered. For live chat use our Chat Server. Give the Personals a try - meet others near you!"

There are no age restrictions.

With that said, conqueror worm, has a good suggestion about setting up a time for an "adults only" chat ... not sure how one enforces access to that though.

A better approach would be to use the Cafe Members chat, which is coming soon - Cafe Members tend to be age 18+ and those who aren't (currently not aware of any) will more likely respect the rules about not entering a designated "adult only" area.

I think rather then blatantly show prejudice against minors ((minors may be more likely to be immature.. but I assure you, there are PLENTY of immature 18+ people out there)) make a designated time for 'mature chatters', ensure that a moderator there can kick and ban who he wants for whatever he deems to be immature. I think a policy similar to the army's "Don't ask, don't tell" applied to age would work just fine here. But, I suppose if there comes a point where you have to be 18+ to enter these boards or a chat on here... well.. my new birth date will be April 21st 1986 rather then 1988.. -laughs-
