I thought if it ever came out how old you were, even if you JOKED about being 9 years old, would get you banned?

Did the poll of the day just wipe 104 people's accounts?

I remember a guy on one of the old Assassin's Creed boards, years ago, was getting into an argument with a troll, and the troll was like, "Jeez, you argue like a 9 year old!!!" and the guy replied, "Yeah, because I'm 9 years old."

And he got banned.

Came back with another account and said that Gamefaqs deleted his account because you can't use the boards if you are under the age of 12 or something. He said he was being sarcastic. Gamefaqs said it was in their policy that they have to delete the account, regardless of sarcasm.

lol

wtf

Why does this come up each time this poll is done? You don't need an account to vote in the PotD.

So... just don't post about being underage?

Of course you can make an account at age 10. I think a good amount of users made their accounts while under the age of 13. It's not like gfaqs verifies it when you sign up.

you cannot make an account here if you're under 13. (but who's gonna ask for proof if you put in a fake birth date?)

you don't need an account to vote in the poll, however.

This account was banned at one point for joking about being underage. I still don't know how it got unbanned.

That's what I'm saying...technically, you can. May you make an account if you're under 13, according to the site's rules? Nope. But can you get around that? lol of course

It's a legal issue. I can understand why they don't want to risk their site on whether someone was being sarcastic or not.

A user that's been spamming the 3DS board for the past few years is 12. He claims he's 13 now but I don't believe him. He's had his account since December of 2011. Meaning he was in the single digits when he made his account. The child should be banned off the site.

Pretty sure they don't really care if you're under 13, they just care if you state that you are under 13.

What if I claim to 1 year old or some other rediculously low age?

Would I get banned for saying I'm a 6 month old fetus still in the womb?

You can get it back if you show proof of your age. Like a driver's license.
Also you can vote in the poll without being logged in.
Also also, we do not talk about the poll here.

Ohhhh, I assumed that if you participate in the polls, that's the same as needing to have an account. And the only reason to have an account is to use the message boards.

Honestly....who would create an account to ONLY participate in the poll of the day? lol

They're using the boards, too. C'mon now.

And if they say they are under 10...that's a problem.

When I made my account I was underage...
