I'm 18. But, considering I've been here for almost two years, I obviously haven't always been old enough to use the site. To be honest, I feel a bit unaware about all these underage users. People always say there are loads here, but I can't even think of 10. Either way, there are really good users here who are slightly underage. I wouldn't want them to leave, and if they did, then IIN would be losing a few really good contributors.
Age isn't my main concern, but rather the way people behave. I've seen older users treat people aggressively and immaturely. And I've seen underage users leave pretty decent comments.
Either way, I can't imagine that much will be done about it. Even if you aren't a member, you can still read all the posts, regardless of age. If people need help, then I'd like to think they'd get it. And if an older user wants advice and gets a really immature comment from an underage user, then they should know that from common sense or something, and would probably know not to take that advice. Anyway, you can get older users who behave more immaturely than underage users.
What portion of IIN is underage?
