The global rules say that you have to be 18+ to browse 4chan, but there is no real way of telling the age of Anonymous users unless they do something dumb like post pictures of themselves. My question is: what do we do with posts that imply or state that the poster is underage? People have reported these posts sometimes in the hopes that the user will be banned, but I ignore them because there is a very good chance that the supossedly underage poster is just joking. So, how strict is the 18+ rule? Should we request bans for suspected underage users or is it just a formal rule that is not really meant to be enforced? I'm leaning towards the latter, but I could be wrong. Your thoughts.
Don't request bans for under age posters. Unless they're using it to blatantly troll the board you're watching over.
Alright. Thanks for clearing that up.
Quite awhile ago there was a large poll thread on one of my boards with questions like age, sex, likes, dislikes, etc. and I asked a mod in IRC if this rule is enforced and he said it most certainly is. Don't request bans for it though, ask a mod to take a look at it and if he feels there is enough evidence and that the person isn't joking he'll take care of it.
