TOPIC: Probably gonna get a lot of hate for this idea.

Before anybody says "use the template". This is just me asking for people's opinions first.

While playing ZARP SSRP, I noticed that many of the staff were very immature. After thinking about it for some time I noticed a pattern. Most of those who I considered to be immature were quite young.

I want to know what everybody would think of some sort of age requirement to become mod or administrator. As somebody who is 15, I would not trust most people my age or younger to have any real power or responsibilitys on a popular server. Maybe a requirement of 16 or 18 to keep the mods and admins more mature.

I do not want everybody below the requirement to be demoted because I like most of them. But my idea would be about new applicants.

Thank you and have a nice day

age doesn't define maturity

Staff can be any age

And I guess me and half the lead team would be demoted from SSRP since I'm 15..

We'd have almost no staff if there was an age restriction put in place.

I can tell why you asks this, but some 15 year olds can be annoying as hell, and some 15 year olds can even be as mature as an adult so you cant really put an restriction on it

It's a gaming community, not an office job.

Discriminating age won't help, more requirements would though.

I.e: Recent warnings last longer, 50 hours minimum gametime, perfect answers to application.

It seems like people are getting accepted way too easily, or perhaps, people get demoted easier. Like if they slip up slightly a couple of times it could happen.

Remember, people 16 and under will be the most active too. Since people 16+ might be in college, university or even have a full time/ part time job. All of which hit hard on your free time.

So, would you rather have staff who are rarely on, but do a good job, or staff who are always on, some who do a decent job, and some who might not.

I know what I would pick.

I'm not hating, just putting my opinion out there.

The part of your opinion that states that all under 16 y/os will do a "decent" job at best is objectively wrong.

Age does not matter. Little kids could have more maturity then a 20 year old. It is about there personality.

I know alot of people under the age of 15 who would be more mature than most 18 year olds for example. Age doesnt matter.

Bro i have been an staff for 9 months now on SSRP and only a few hypocrites mentioned my age before the f1 but after i did the f1 for them most of them said that i am mature enough for the job so i simply think this suggestion is stupid
(im 13 and im not going to lie in the beginning i was imature some time but ive changed alot. =D)

You got your answer and people have perfectly explained why there is no age restriction.
