This is honestly pathetic. Yes, this is a serious matter, but on this thread I suggest some are over-reacting.

If we should not trust people on the internet, do not take Matt's (Jessie1010) encouragement too seriously. First of all, to be persuaded by that encouragement is to basically trust one's word on something. Let's go wayyy back to the day someone first joins. It is their choice, and whatever happens is no one else's fault. it is your own due to making that choice in the first place. I do take this law seriously, but I will not take this seriously because I think it's stupid.

If there are by chance 6 year-olds on these things, can I just say their parents should be watching their children if they care for their safety. The ones that should be mostly aware of this law the most are the parents. Just because we're admins on a wiki, it does not mean we will be any different. We could be anyone, I can say now I am not a pedophile or any of the sort, but I won't blame anyone for thinking anything of any sort, because this is the internet, and I too, am a stranger.

I want to recall what Matt had explained earlier on. Although we have not technically enforced the rule, our policies do contain that rule itself as a warning. We are not responsible for any of the actions people make. Yet again, this is their choice, their mistakes, and their fault alone. Going back to the whole mentioning Amanda Todd thing, I feel sympathy that her path was not as happy as it could've been, but the cause of everything was the one day that she made a mistake. The people around her were an influence, but it's her fault for the beginning of it, and for taking it all in and losing control of her sanity.

I will repeat that I do take this law seriously, as it is true of the dangers.

AwesomeOrange - "How much experience does our administration have" Excuse me?! People who aren't admins should have the same responsibilities with this law. Like I said, their parents should care for their safety. We'll warn people about the rule, but we're not going to be their 'mother'.

I haven't had the greatest day today, so excuse me if you take any of my words a little rudely.
