I wouldn’t see look down, yes, maybe see as maybe not as knowledgeable or even possible a pest at some times (what kid isn’t??)
But having an age limit on a discussion despite it might not work 100% (there will always be kids who tell the internet they are 18+), then they can live with disturbing realities of getting older, but hey it was their choice in the first place to lie, so they can deal with the consequences.
But again, nothing is stopping a 13 year old kid from saying he is 18 or even 20+
The real problem I see there being however, is at a younger age when you put in your age you’re wondering what all they will be censoring you from, it could be something you may be interested, I won’t say any specifics, but I’m sure we can all agree that seeing an age input would limit us.
And for someone that is new to fluther they’ll have no idea what they would be kept from.
