TOPIC: Should there be a moderator age restriction?

it is. i couldn't care less about your experiences. people are arrested all the time because they make protests about certain religions and say that they are all responsible for the actions of others. it is still prejudice and if I have to spell out the logic as to why it is then so be it:

- you acknowledge that some staff members under the age of 16 are good, some are bad. you also acknowledge that not all over the age of 16 are good either.
- you say that the solution to this problem is to bar any under 16 from joining the staff team.
- you are therefore labelling under 16s as immature in their entirety based on some experiences, and thus it is a prejudicial concept.

I for one am for demoting all moderators under 16 and disallowing any moderator applications for people under 16 because they are not experienced enough in the real world with dealing with people + I see a lot of moderators who are about 13 breaking rules consistently and because they're mods they get away with it the young moderators are given far to much power and do not understand the repercussions of their actions. I was once an admin on elite roleplay which had an age restriction of 16 this made sure that many people who applied were more mature and understand the responsibility that comes with being an admin also with less young moderators this should mean a more mature older clientele for the server

I do understand that there are some good young mods but they are in a minority compared to the excessive amount of immature and disrespectful abusers that make up the young mods on the server

Some staff over 16 are bad at their job you are a good example but still I think that people with more years would be better at dealing with situations understanding how the world works and dealing with it from there

you are a good example

Chris didn't you get demoted?

Yes I did get denied for mod because of the little kid mods which give me unfair warnings. Also I am glad you got demoted chris as you let admins abuse **cough cough Zer0nix cough cough**

you are targeting ZARP's target audience

probably not going to go down well unless chute decides that he is going to take away every social quality zarp strives fore.

oh yeah, because hitler formed the third reich when he was older than 16, he's a prime example of someone who can be more inspirational than the likes of stephen sutton (and before you say he died at the age of 19, he was doing great things for many of his teen years, some of which fall under that now-so forbidden category of under 16)
