I think I'm giving a bit of a wrong impression with that post due to careless wording. I don't do this daily. Not even weekly. I haven't reported anyone in ages. That 2 a day was only once.

As for the general part, feeling sorry for young fans; I can see that. But that in itself is not an argument not to do it, it's an appeal to emotion (or adverse consequences).

Whether kids make good edits or not is moot; once they mention their age, they're at risk of someone reporting them. Not out of malice, not out of asshattery, but simply because the law is there to protect children from giving out too much private information online. No matter if they can form coherent sentences at age 9 or not. My hat off to their advanced level of English, but this isn't about childishness or maturity.

It may be a dumb law, but it's still a law. There are a lot of age limitations in everyday matters, and at 13, this is probably (among) the lowest. Want it changed? Contact your local representative. However, as this law is designed to protect children, it won't happen anytime soon.
