Seems much of the user face is significantly older now, doesnt it just make sense to raise the minimum age required to sign up? That way, we can avoid the drama thats going on like now

No, because kids can still have questions about games. Raising the social board entry lvl to, say 30, would help immensely

A lot of what's permitted to be posted on CE, parents of 13-14 year old children wouldn't want them to see, or interact with the people posting it. CE in it's own right should be 18+ at least.

25+ since your brain isn't fully developed until around then.

For real. This place is toxic enough for the weak willed, let alone a child

CE should be a millennial only zone where we feast on avocado toast and plot to kill established industries and American traditions.

The age old phenomena of adult hobbyists preferring to gatekeep their hobbies and pretend theyre the primary demographics rather than accept theyre getting old and that theyre now the periphery demographic. Bronies and gamers have a lot in common.

To be fair, GameFAQs is sort of a 30 y/o boomer website already

and you could probably count the number of <18 CEople on one hand

except in this case, we are right. people under the age of 18 on this board are super rare. I think the average age of CE is like late 20s now maybe. kids don't usually come here. kids use reddit or facebook or other social media

I once told a couple of posters here that they should probably take their sad attempt at cybersex to PMs as this place can be viewed by minors and was met with "lolz won't someone please think of the children!?!" by several 20 and 30 year olds that think this is /b/.

You act as if the minimum age rule ever stopped anyone before. As if people can't just lie.

We DEFINITELY have 12 and under posters here. They give themselves away too easily.

Topic title and OP says gamefaqs in general which is meant to be for all gamers.

No because most of the demographics on GFAQs currently are in their late 20s and 30s now.

to put a barrier now would be pointless.

Unfortunately, there is no good solution to this. If we raise the user level requirement then what will happen to the trolls? This board will die out. The parents need to figure out what is appropriate and what isn't.

Users here just have to shape up, stop being creeps, stop acting like incels, stop idolizing woman, I mean it's pretty messed up that this site is like 99% men. Makes me want to go to quora or something, there is literally such a low standard for being a good contributor on this site, it's pathetic.

Should raise the minimum age to 60 so you've already wasted most of your life by the time you can post here.
