I agree there are plenty of users under 13 on Wikia who behave maturely. They're smart, and many of them even make excellent contributions to their respective wikias. However, COPPA is law, and you have to abide by it. Wikia has to abide by it by putting in that rule. They violated the Terms of Use by stating their ages. Besides, they weren't even required to reveal their ages to anyone. They chose to do it just because someone asked them to or they felt inclined towards sharing it. The only proof of age they had to reveal was their birthdate when they signed up, which they can very easily lie about.
