On the subject of underage players

[ForkAndKnife]

Your free reminder that to even sign up for BYOND itself, you have to be 13. Or at least, you must check a box saying you are. There should be no pre-teens children present at all by default, if age restriction worked. Plus the nature of the game; you have to be proficient in reading and writing.

I also agree that a lot of the non-sexual themes described are hardly enough to warrant an age-gate. It's text, not graphic imagery.
