Well how would the admins actually know how old they are? Unless you tell someone or tell on yourself.

They are like 12 or younger they're stupid. Most of them blab to someone eventually.

Regardless, i think there is another factor for why someone lies about their age. For some people online security and anonymity is desired. I know that this server application does not really ask for much besides age and general location, but the amount of information about a single person on the web today is pretty frightening. If anyone was extremely strict about how much personal information they let the world see, lying about their age is not that bad, so long as its being used for security purposes (hopefully not malicious ones).
I can understand someone lying about their age for the matter of online security. But a lot of the age bans I see are either from A: them blabbing to someone on the server about their age, thus defeating the purpose of lying about their age in the first place, or B: another application is found on a different forum which lists a different age. This could mean either that they're younger, or perhaps just like lying. That lack of consistency does not usually speak well of them, and it's honestly never fun to be lied to, you know?

That's all well and good but most people that lie about their age are people under 13 that just want access to the server. There is no way to test for what you have stated there so if we find them they get banned regardless

Why do we have to know how old someone is again? Why not just determine their intellect/maturity level by the coherence of their application?
I quote myself from earlier...
Second, as whitemage said, you need to be 13 to agree with the TOS. Plus, a lot of the talk on this server is adult oriented. Kids shouldn't really here a lot of this stuff haha.
It's the law, and there are no exceptions.
Whenever I have a suspicion I simply ask them and they tell me.

That sounds like a parents job.
Secondly if a parent gives consent, then it is legal. 13 is the legal age to consent on your own. Letting your kid on the computer = consent.
I'd have to agree with Neo on the adult oriented stuff. Kids should not hear the things we talk about on here lol *cough*Neo talking about bleeding out his dick*cough*

A parents job, not Herocrafts.
Not with the TOS Herocraft carries. I quote from the TOS posted by Seratt...
"YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 13 YEARS OLD."

that is not Law that is a stipulation of the server.
Well here's an idea. We could have a system for kids under 13 where they have to have their parents give them permission to play on the server like many other online games do. When the parents fill out this form they should be able to have the option to opt their child out of public chats.
Law of the server. Ultimately it's up to the server to decide, and this is what they've set as the preferred age. Didn't mean law as in outside of the server rules, sorry about the failure to clarify.
