Because children shouldn't be using the internet unsupervised.
 
^So can I... I'm 11.
 
From what I've seen, most Pokemon fans now are "veterans" that have been with Pokemon since the beginning or near the beginning. These people are mostly in/past their teens now, seeing as people, well, grow/age.

That is a pretty harsh thing to say. It all depends on maturity. Anyway, there are alot of under 11's. Ya just gotta search for em. Make an under 11's club.

With the amount of porn, vulgar images and unsuitable content floating around on the internet, along with pedophiles and stalkers, I'd say what I said was fairly correct and the truth.

Kids shouldn't be on the internet unsupervised. ;\

Unfortunately, not a whole lot of people around that age have it. Not very many people my age have it either, sadly. Especially in this place.
 
16 Here, I guess I would be a "Veteran" of pokemon. Been there since the show first started...been there since the first game...still there <3
 
This is just ageism. It's prejudice. "He's 11, he's younger than me, I'm better than him. He's too young to be using the internet." WTD?! If 6 and 7 year olds are taught to use the internet as school, then I believe an 11 year old should be perfectly capable of using it. It's like seein a 19 year old guy driving a car and presuming he's gonna go twice the Speed Limit and crash into someone else. I myself am 15, but was using the internet at 11. Probably before 11 even, I don't know.

Good job. No one said anything about "I'm better than you." You fail for overexaggeration and for putting words in people's mouths. In this day and age, kids need to be supervised by parents when watching TV or using a computer. The computer is not meant to babysit, and neither are we.

Schools only teach kids how to type on the computer, not how to properly use the internet. Not to mention, A TEACHER IS THERE.

What a lame comparison.

Your point being? I was 10 when I started using the computer and was watched by my dad so he would tell what to go to and what not to go to. Upon using the comp one day when he was out, I ended up downloading a virus and whiping my entire harddrive clean due to a couple of guys tricking me into thinking I was downloading something "really cool."

If you don't have a full grasp of knowledge on the internet and aren't properly taught, anyone out there could take advantage of you. Why else do you think all these rape and murder cases occur when a kid or pre-teen goes off to meet someone they met on the internet alone?

Again, we're not here to babysit. Kids shouldn't browse the internet alone without parental supervision. Parental controls aren't full-proof either, btw.
 
Because most kids that young don't need to be on the internet unsupervised.

And this place isn't exactly a parent's dream place for a kid to be. Granted, the rigid rules make it better than a lot of other forums and the like, but that doesn't mean that it's perfect. Another thing is self control, which a lot of people don't have.

WTD? What the Damn? o-o

Anyway, it's not wise for children 12 and under to be on the internet unsupervised. A prime example is what happened to SPP the other day. Domain was stolen. Site linked to pr0n. Guess what Billy saw the other day, mommy. He said that there was naked people on a pokemon site!
And, possibly, although, much less importantly, prejudice against pokemon. :<
 
It's not like we ban people under a certain age; they're just not joining. :/ Do you expect to go to the local kindergarten to recruit members?
