I personally don't think that a user under 13 should be permitted to have an account here. The reason being is that Wikia could shut us down if they found out that we were allowing people who are under 13 to have an account here. There's a federal law entitled "Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) " where sites that collect personal information have to go through a lot of steps in the policies and permissions for 13 or under. This is the reason why Wikia won't allow users under 13 to be on Wikia, because of the hard work that goes into complying with the COPPA. You are also invading a ban by making an account so if Wikia found out about this they would block you for a long period of time. It's ultimately up to Jessie1010 the age that users have to be to be a user here but that is a legal perspective that Wikia can identify you doing. I would suggest you come back when you're 13 as well as reading the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
