Red and AwesomeOrange are right, Wikia must comply to COPPA by only allowing people 13 years or older to have an account here on Wikia.

I spoke with some users in the Community Central Wiki chat for some verification and they said no one on Wikia has to really report underage users unless they're staff. So this wiki being shut down because we have underage users is not true. On the Austin & Ally Wiki, our policy says "Due to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and laws about child internet safety, Wikia says that you must be 13 or over to have an account. Please be aware that if you are caught under 13 by Wikia, you will be globally blocked." The staff here, however, doesn't really like to take action against users under 13 years old since many Austin & Ally fans are under 13. So no, I will not block or report you. And you're a really cool user so I want you to stay! But one thing is just that, this whole thread is basically about how you're an underage user who was blocked and anyone can see this and report your new account to Wikia. You might want to get rid of this account and then create a new one with a different name. :) Then from there, never tell your age to anyone on Wikia. :) Look at me, I'm giving you advice on how to break the rules. :P
