Underage?

[Sniper]

In the Edit User function, there is a checkbox for Underage.

What is the impact to the user of having this box checked?

[Mike Haven]

It prevents his use of the pm facility.

I haven't seen any other consequence, yet.

Thx Mike

I'm not sure why PMs would violate this, but OK.

So why is it being used on 16 year olds? I think we need to figure out what "underage" means in this context.

What makes it even more fun is that COPA was already overturned by the supreme court.

[Mike Haven]

Preventing use of the pm facility is a consequence of checking the underage box.

That consequence is a result of the way this general forum software is designed, but, in fact, it is not a result that Mat requires.

Therefore, if anyone has checked any poster's underage box, please uncheck it and make a note in the User Notes box, instead. (Athough even taking this latter course is not vital, in any case, and only suggested, by me, as an appropriate aide memoire.)

Thanks.
