    Yes, and if you care to read, I have already stated that in my first post.

    i did indeed, don't test me.

    I don't think we need age restrictions, maybe for higher ranking positions due to maturity levels needed.

    If you "dare" to talk to me/read, you will realise I think likewise to your previous posts. Having someone reiterate should be a positive thing...

    I apologize for my incompetence that I typed 'dare' instead of 'care'. I've already edited my post accordingly. It is only positive to see you have the same views as I have.

    And again, sorry for this little misunderstanding.

I'm not sure that fleet imposed divisions by age would be necessary, as I'm sure Live Messenger or XFire should suffice? If people wish to play with certain people, I'm sure they would be able to organize themselves personally, but in a fleet like ours, I don't think it would either be beneficial, or easily enforceable to employ age restrictions on the forums themselves; younger people will "encounter" the older set inevitably on these forums, whether they wish to or not.

    I Strongly Disagree with an age restriction. I am 13 years old and are no less capable then any other Crewman 3rd in this fleet.

    Thats just my oppinionBig Grin

    Thanks to everyone who has participated in this discussion. I want to make it clear there are no policies under consideration by SFC on any kind of age restriction, this was merely a chance to get some personal feedback on what people feel on this subject.
