It's the polite and correct thing to do for underagers to not KNOWINGLY break the law and endanger the site by posting here. It's plastered ALL OVER the damn site that it is for users aged 18 years and older.

@Camaro, did you check the email I sent you?

We are not in the habit of informing ToS breakers that we're deleting them for being underage you know. It's ENTIRELY on the user to ensure that he or she has a back up of his or her work. Whether it be on a thumb drive, CDR, emailed to self, or whatever.

Okay. Later on then, I gotta get ready for work. I ask "how many" because it took Apollo and I quite awhile to winnow down the tags list to stuff we KNEW was needed and used, from what was in the list itself.

How many are "quite a few"?

Okay, it appears you had an account duplication issue, which is now fixed. I've emailed you particulars for the account

Is this for a new account, or attempting to activate an old one?

It can only contain letters and numbers, and must be 8 or more characters in length

@SnapesOnlyOne - account duplication is taken care of. Please check your email for the next steps.

Okay, which subdomain are you talking about, for starters? Each one has het categories.

them and the show. For example, if you're writing about the celebrities themselves, I'd create a category based on a person. If you're writing a story about the celebs, while filming or whatever, then I'd create a category for the show itself. Have a look at a story or two here, and you'll see the difference.

The stories were posted before your 18th, so I had to delete them, unfortunately. Having said that, you can always post them again.

Yes. All reality tv shows go to celebs to begin with. What I'm asking, is if it's writting within the settings of the show itself.

Okay, the accounts are merged and an email has been sent to your yahoo address.

You actually activated the account linked to your yahoo. What I'm going to do is put you in my merge queue, and once that's done I'll email you with the login details of the activated account. Please allow up to 48 hours for the merge to occur.

hehe nothing to fix, was a timing glitch.

Apparently someone else was leaving a review at the same time you were on that story. Try again and tell me what happens. I checked the autoincrement values, and all is as it should be.

I'm starting off this year's topic with a bit of a rant. As you all know, one of the things we're in the process of doing is age verification of every registered user. This is important to the health and well being of the site. This site is for users aged 18 years or OLDER. It's ALWAYS been an adult only site. Having said all that, I am utterly APPALLED at how many old minors we've found and processed since September 2008. 5695 users since then that have been deleted for being underage at time of registration, more often than not never active as adults. This does not account for duplication of accounts by these underage users, nor does it account for where i've modified these accounts where the user was over 18 and posted data. The account duplication is an issue which honestly, I expected to be pretty bad, due to when we had the huge crash, and accounts were not yet restored, so the users made new ones. To date, 4733 accounts have been deleted after merging the data in the duplicates, or just deleting the duplicates where there was no data. I have, to date, due to underage deletions, account merges, plagiarism deletions, bad emails, and spam registrations deleted a total of 13184 accounts. 8030 of those accounts deleted were due to age inadequacies. SIXTY PERCENT!!!! 43% is of the old minor variety What KILLS me is that this staff (there are 11 of us total, including admin users) is catching all this crap that should've been caught when there were 30+ staff members. There's no justification that I can see, for the ineptitude for years. NONE.
