User blog comment:Semanticdrifter/Updates to COPPA/@comment-5884303-20130705043719

I'm reading through COPPA and I see "verifiable parental consent" brought up a few times. While I'm sure Wikia doesn't want to take measures to receive verifiable parental consent for underage users, what if a parent is completely okay with their child using a Wikia wiki? I'm from Brickipedia, a LEGO wiki, so we target our content at children, and being a wiki about a toy, we don't want to keep out younger users. While disabling anonymous editing has helped a bit in the way that we no longer have random people who we don't know going through pages adding their own made up rumors, we're also likely losing some good anonymous editors to the wiki. I know some of these underage anons, and they're quite mature. I just wish there was another way to easily comply with COPPA, but, as I even stated, being a wiki about a toy, the number of underage anons would keep us from being able to have anonymous editing turned back on, probably...
