Question

Hi! Are you guys doing an action regarding OpenStudy users who are below 13 years old? :)

Answer 1

Yes when you find someone who is 13 or younger please report it :D

Answer 2

Thank you for your response! I'm new here, so I don't think how things work. :)

Answer 3

someone not knowing how to divide is not sufficient evidence to prove that they are below 13 ....

Answer 4

What evidence do you want then? A birth certificate?

Answer 5

just them admitting is enough

Answer 6

When I help someone with adding negative numbers together, then it's pretty obvious.

Answer 7

Openstudy allows people younger than 13, otherwise @Jaynator495 wouldn't be on here.

Answer 8

@Conqueror Observing the way you respond to his mistakes, it looks like you wouldn't be on here either.

Answer 9

LOL

Answer 10

if they admit they are under 13, they are banned. If they want to get unbanned, lets say they were joking, then they have to prove their age.

Answer 11

Well, I showed a moderator a girl who said on her profile she was 12 and the mod said he didn't want to ban her.

Answer 12

So you're kind of giving false information.

Answer 13

then the second condition is:

depends on the mod

Answer 14

if you really want them to get banned, you go tell eric

other mods might be lazy :)

Answer 15

Eric bans them for 123456789 hours or something.

Answer 16

even turingtest banned for longer than that by request x'D

Answer 17

xD

Answer 18

yep, i had him suspend that one person by 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

Answer 19

Tkhunny did better.

Answer 20

This kid admitted that he's in 5th grade, but the Moderator obviously didn't care. I wish there were better moderators.

Answer 21

whats wrong with being 13 yrs or younger? I mean they need help to

Answer 22

@Bossvideogamer21 According to COPPA, we cannot allow under-aged users. We would be fined.

Answer 23

Answer 30

Answer 31

Answer 32

o-o

Answer 33

Are 13 and below not allowed to use OpenStudy?

Answer 34

No.

Answer 35

13+

Answer 36

The answer to that question is yes.

Answer 37

If I see someone being castrated from OpenStudy social group by their inability to perform basic arithmetic, then I will, without warning, send off a profile and interfere. I will reach out to Moderators and directly speak with Preetha if it becomes an ongoing issue. We do not discourage anyone, may it be a mental challenge someone has to overcome, dyslexia, aspergers, autism, or simply have trouble conceiving mathematics notions. Calling someone a child, or, "too young to be here," simply by their struggle with numbers is asinine. The important part is that they're making an effort to learn and better themselves.

Now, that being said, you should at no point condescend anyone by calling them children or, "too young to use OpenStudy." Even if it's basic. e.g., "what is 2 - 3 x 5?" Maybe they don't understand PEMDAS or are unfamiliar with the number system.

However, sufficient evidence for COPPA Violations do include
- Self Admission (admitting), whether this be in a message, post, or their profile
- Information elsewhere, (e.g., they show an ID, or legal form of ID to someone off or on OpenStudy, and the matter is brought to the Admins)
- Administrative Decision (e.g., an Admin reserves the right to issue a suspension, or ban, based on their belief and their belief alone. An Admin does not need a reason nor a justification).

There is no test. There is no games or ways to tell other than hard; raw evidence. It is best that we just help student and leave the moderation to our staff.

Thanks.

Answer 38

Best answer yet. :')

"Are 13 \(and\) below not allowed to use OpenStudy?"
13 yr olds are allowed. Not 12 and under.

Answer 41

Answer 44

Answer 51

that's not a appropriate way.

Answer 52

oh okay thanks. :D

Answer 54

can i still leave a bad review if they dont change the rule

Answer 55

i just think its messed up

Answer 56

i mean people who are younger than 13 need help to right

Answer 57

We do this because we have to. It's not legal and therefore we must. Don't take it the wrong way, but it's not really based on emotion or how helpful people are. If there is proof that they are under-aged then they will be banned.
