I'm pretty sure a lot of parents don't even know their kid isn't allowed to sign up across US sites before they're 13, so they can't impart that particular bit of knowledge to them. They also don't have much of a motivation to try and stop their kid from signing up wherever the kid wants to sign up.

In the end, it's a contract between Wikia and that user, and not the admins' responsibility to enforce that rule.

When Wikia staff sees someone is underage, we have to take the appropriate action, or risk breaking the law. If you guys see someone is underage, you can report or block them, but you're under no obligation to do so. It's a law Wikia has to abide by.

@Vanilladazzle: I agree that we probably should have kicked that user a bit earlier, and possibly ban them too. I'm too soft sometimes :p
