What I'm gathering from the situation, with Sactage's incite, is that we as a community have misinterpreted what we are legally required to do under coppa. We don't need to ban users under 13 at all. We just have to remove the information that shows that they are a minor.

What we really need to do is remove this out of proportion, way too strict, misinterpreted enforcement of coppa, which I'm sure most people would be able to agree on. So long as a user behaves themself, who cares how old they are? And if they don't behave themself, it doesn't matter if they're five, or fifty-two, because we're warning, banning, and blocking them anyways.
