Please note that everyone on this forum should be aged 13 or over.
This is a necessity for all Internet forums, not just ours.
Occasionally, adults will open an account and allow children to post. This may sometimes, possibly, be all right, provided the adult supervises the child at all times and checks all posts before they are sent.
If this is going to happen, the adults need to confirm this to Lisa and check that she is able to allow it.
EDIT: It may not be possible. Permission would have to be submitted to Lisa.

thats a good rule. is there any special reason for this topic, other than a reminder of the rules? i think its good for us to have a reminder of the rules once in a while, it saves people a lot of trouble.

Well, we are unable to allow anyone under 13 to be a member. It definitely says this when people register.
Please, if anyone here is under 13, they may not post unless specific authorisation has been given by Lisa.
Sometimes I think that it may be possible for an under-13 to post, if a responsible adult controls the account and is there with them whenever they post, having ckecked each item first. But this would only be after the account has been checked and authorised by Lisa.
The very first thing people are asked for, when they try to register, is their date of birth. Annyone under 13 will receive this message: 'Sorry, we do not allow children of your age to register. '
So there is no excuse for breaking this rule.
