@Kardamom “why can’t the individual posts on those Q’s simply be modded off”
They can be—if the question is otherwise good. But if the question isn’t good, and if it is mostly or entirely accusations and personal attacks, there’s no salvaging it. Years of experience confirms this.
“In the questions (regarding these current situations), there weren’t a bunch of typos in the original Q, and most of the answers were on topic, and well thought out.”
Not knowing which questions you are talking about, I can’t really comment. If I may take a guess, however the person in question might not have been a troll (despite the freely flowing accusations) and rather a genuinely underage person. As the privacy policy notes, “this site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect any information about children under the age of 13.” We also actively protect the privacy of those who are under 13 (and in the case I am thinking about, it was quite easy to determine that the person was genuinely underage and not someone pretending to be a child).
“Also, several of us have looked through the Fluther Guidelines, and can’t seem to find the one about members having to be at least 13 years old. Has that been moved or changed?”
Aside from the privacy policy, which clearly states that the site is intended for adults, the rule is stated next to the Join button (which you can only see if you are logged out).
@Aethelwine “It would be nice if some would not insinuate that the OP is a troll.”
Indeed. Accusations of trolling are generally removed as personal attacks. It is best to assume good faith as long as a question is active.
