My instant thought regarding this is that of shared IP addresses. What if another individual on the same computer/network/IP wished to sign up on Nonoba, and were well within our restrictions? How can we let this apparent bypass through?

Another contribution I wish to share is the level of permanence behind the proposal - a month, let alone a year is far too long for a blacklist entry which can be the result of three misinterpreted or wrongly inputted fields of data.

I understand the valid explanation of the need to apply and uphold the law of COPPA but however tough it may be, I feel this solution is, while useful in the short term, is simply too weak and inefficient for what is a constantly growing gaming community.

I think people take themselves and nonoba to seriously perhaps... Matts way of "punishment" fails.

Sometimes older members put down a younger age then they there true age also the user account greeter nonoba would be ban so it's kinda a bad idea. Also Younger members can lie about their age

There could be a disadvantage though, even though i agree with Matt, but people could fake there age and say that they are 13 etc?

wouldnt that be mean you should go easy on them like just dont let them in the chat! like what would games do talk rude? no
