On the subject of underage players

[Doru7]

that I personally feel that the distinction that this community is minor-inclusive needs to be made clear before someone even begins to play the game.

The vast, vast majority of players are 18+. Most are mid-20s. Minors are fortunately rare in the community, so we don't deal with the same problems that the average SS13 server does. 

I'd say an age rating of 18+ on this game is fair, given the content and what you can potentially be exposed to, which is one reason why sexual content is strictly private. But I'm not sure if it's necessary to police exactly, unless a situation is brought to our attention where someone's safety is involved.

I'm not saying you should police the server. However, by allowing minors onto the server, and also allowing mature content in private instances, you can see where my concern is. Especially when taken into consideration with the following rule:

On Ghost & Player Logs

It is against policy to watch a scene that isn't in public as a ghost. Additionally, we generally respect player privacy and avoid reading the logs... Only head admins can do so (very of us) and typically only do so to investigate cheating or a report. 

If someone takes a minor into a private instance, no one is going to know about it unless that minor makes a report. That's what scares me.
