Hi, I just want to clarify the Terms of Use around users under 13.

Making an account if you are under 13 is against the Terms of Use.

Wikia is not allowed to store your personal information (including email address and IP) and there's no way for you to have an account without us doing that. So you can't have an account until you are 13. It's a stupid law, but it is the law.

But that doesn't mean that the admins here (or anyone else) have to report people under 13. You can report them if you are worried about them being on Wikia, but you won't be breaking the ToU if you don't. That part of the ToU is between Wikia and the user concerned, not anyone else.

If the admins on this wikia choose never to report people, that's just fine. It's their choice.

One warning: what the admins shoudn't do is ban people who do' report that someone is underage. That has to be their choice, not decided by whether they would be banned or not.

I hope that makes everything clearer.
