a coppa = child online parental protection application (correct me if I'm wrong)
Ok.
COPPA is actually the "Children's Online Privacy Protection Act" and is simply a US federal law.
The way I've always understood COPPA working is that it just flat-out forbids anyone from gathering information -about- children under the age of 13.
A "COPPA Compliant" website generally is compliant by simply forbidding anyone under 13 from accessing the site without verifiable parental consent. This goes hand in hand with a written up privacy policy, and stated requirements for how people under 13 can -obtain- parental permission. In most cases, since COPPA compliance is usually only enforced on websites operating as a business, this is done by requireing credit card payment for service.
Don't needlessly flame someone out of assumptions. Especially not in the FFR Suggestions area. It is annoying and doesn't belong here. Follow the rules.

Am he rite?
Ya he rite.
Tass and Jason had a nice little conversation at the get together on the night before the convention, on how some 10 year olds are more literate, and sometimes more mature than the older members on these forums.
I've noticed more teenagers have trouble reading the rules than underage kids. Don't jump to assumptions, anyone. You've all been kids before too.
Yes but almost every time I find someone on this site who is UUA, be in the forums or MP, they are always handling themselves like jackasses. I KNOW they dont reed the rules, or if they do read them, they deliberately ignore them to try and be funny. This wont happen (at least a severely hope not)
