| Banning people under 13 is usually the standard. I think that's fine. I don't see any reason why they should ban teenagers altogether though. It should be up to the parents, whether or not they want their kids using a site like this. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| it depends but I think not having people like under 14 would be great I guess quite some websites dont allow people 12 and under already which makes sense, in general the internet is a terrible scary place with many horrors to be seen and all the kids who are even under 10 being able to acess the internet is kinda cooked up lol |

I'm not really sure but I was pretty young. |

| I find funny how one of the mods here, first created their account when they were 14 or something. |
 |
| NO! DON'T BAN THEM! |
 |
| Please ban them, 90% of them have terrible takes, the forum would be better without them. |

| I only pay attention to account age. |
  |
| Ban everyone under 13 yes. Ban 13-17 though? No lol. Lets not act like we didn't use message boards/social media when we were that age. We all did. |

MAL cant legally hold an account of anyone under 13 or something along those lines. I cant recall if there is certain exceptions to this like parental approval. |

SKG_201 said: While I was looking at stats of anime, I had recently come across an underaged user. I was wondering if MAL should ban underaged users? What age do you consider to be underage? |
 |
| While I think banning users under the age of 14 or 15 is not just good, but also sometimes necessary, I feel like that's something that's incredibly hard to enforce anywhere on the internet unless a legal ID is required. Lying about your age is so easy to do |
 |
| There should be a standard to follow, like at the most thirteen. It's not like MAL is discord, where a minor gets groomed every 60 seconds. |
 |
| if you mean 12 or under then yeah if you mean in general teenagers than do not that'd remove nearly all of the site traffic, i'm certain the biggest demographic of animanga is teenagers. besides there can be mature teenagers and immature adults it'd make no difference just kill the site off faster |
mmm yummy visuakl kei munch crunch munch chomp   |
| People do realize that there's no way to prove whether someone is underage or not, right? Besides, a lot of people who pretend to be underage here are probably not anyway. There was this user who was allegedly born in 2005 but their MAL account was made in like 2007-2009. "Sorry, you need to confirm your age to enter MAL! Are you 18+ (Don't lie please!!) Y/N?" - As if that has ever stopped anybody. |
| I think it depends. I don't think they should be banned from the site entirely since MAL's actual list function is useful, but there should probably be a 15+ up age limit to access forums. |
 «  »🍙 Koizumi HanayoDareka Tasukete!!! |
| How exactly would MAL enforce that anyway? |
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. |
| Totally pointless, they would just lie about their age. |
No, this isn't my signature. |
| "Should MAL ban underaged users?" No. |
 |
| I was underage when I made my account back in the days so it'd be hypocritical of me to say they shouldn't be around. |
| I know of at least one MAL account that claims they were born negative two months ago. |
 |
| Uhh, no, thanks. Isn't the target demographic for most anime (besides like seinen and josei and stuff) teens anyway? |
| If they openly admit to it, yes. Forums generally should be 18+ And before someone says, "but I was on forums when I was 14/15/16" they should either keep that to themselves and assimilate with adult users, or leave. |
  |
| I don't care about underaged users on MAL, there's already all types of people on this website who are as stupid as an underage person even if they're not really underage. |
Reply to Disapeared_Ghost
Yep, social media should be 18+ honestly given how much shit takes minors have online and also, mal already made it a rule thankfully to not allow underaged users to be on mal.
| @Disapeared_Ghost He said, while sharing a doodoo take. |
| (°<°) <(KA-KAW KA-KAW!) |
| Under 13 should be banned. Under 18 shouldn’t be banned, as long as mature topics are restricted for under 18’s or banned. It’s only because of safety and so that ad companies don’t collect their data. I’ve seen 10 year olds who weren’t supposed to be online behave better than actual 20 year olds. |

It’s not for those reasons it’s because a US law on not collecting data on anyone under age of 13. MAL cant legally hold an account of anyone under 13 or something along those lines. I cant recall if there is certain exceptions to this like parental approval.
| @traed I think that only applies to YouTube. YouTube allows kids to post videos as long as they have their parents’ permission and/or the parents monitor the account. |
| (°<°) <(KA-KAW KA-KAW!) |
| Why? MAL is not an 18+ site. You don't think minors should be allowed in forums and be allowed to track anime? |
| i kind of wish mal had banned me when i joined at the age of 12 |
   sos, there's a goddess in disquise |
