It's no double standard at all. it's called using my judgement as well as applying the rules. First of all if I didn't find out the age someone would get pissed and say I jumped the gun. I have done this to several underage posters who had questions that demonstrated a major lack of information. Unless the thread is something so ridiculous as "I'm only 15 years old and I have no car can someone hook me up" I make sure their questions are answered before they are banned. Another case is when some kid gets a brillant idea to grow pot in mom and dad's house I make sure they hear from several people how bad of an idea it is before showing them the door.

Marijuana is made to out to be the devil's weed and this website is not about that. Sending this kid on his way without straightening him out would be doing marijuana users an injustice.

I don't appreciate your inaccurate description of my moderating. I use the word inaccurate because I am quite consistent on educating the sheltered before sending them on their way and I don't really care if you agree or not.
