What is your opinion on minors (people under the age of 18) using 4chan, moot? Of course you are required by federal law to prevent the illegal viewing of adult material by underage users, but what is your PERSONAL opinion on them? Do you condone their using your site? Do you condemn them because of the material on here? What do you consider to be the youngest you'd think a user should be in order to maturely and appropriately interact on this website? Seeing how you created this site at only 15-years old yourself, you're bound to have at least SOME opinion on this issue. Especially considering how minors make up a significant portion of the users on this site, your views regarding their presence is important. Of course you can't allow for them to knowingly use this site, nor can you change your rules regarding age limits, but your opinion despite this restrictions is valuable nevertheless.

>TL;DR: What is your opinion on underage users on 4chan, moot?

For everyone else, what are your opinions? Of course very young children shouldn't be allowed and immature kids, such as 12-year old kids and the like, shouldn't use this site. What of adolescents, though? Are users aged 14-17 really such an issue? Or is there just a misconception around that part of the userbase and they're targeted simply due to their age (ageism)? What is your opinion? Many of you have undoubtedly used 4chan before you were 18 and some of you still may, so try to consider the effects your opinions would have on those who are currently in the position you were in. For those of you who did/do use 4chan before you're 18, did/does your usage of this site help or hinder you more? Did it help you develop your views and beliefs, or did it traumatize you? Remember that this is an anonymous board, so there's no need to reveal your age, especially if you're underage.
