I don't like annoying little kids and I don't like bigoted and grumpy old people. anyone else is fine by me.
That's just part of the internet. You just have do deal with it and/or ignore it.
I can't say that it's ever been about age. If someone makes horrible quality posts, they get treated horribly. Think about couragedog (isn't it) the "youngest facepuncher". Isn't she like 8? I can't say anyone treats her badly in the slightest. She makes decent posts. In short, if you make quality posts and gain a positive reputation no one is going to hold your age against you. (That, and you can realize the internet isn't a nice place, and you can go back to your mom and cry because you're only 15 :saddowns:)
I'm 15. I just don't generally give a shit if people are older than 12, as long as they have decent opinions and are coherent.

thanks
[QUOTE=RiotashumaV2;22719301]Sure, let me just boost my puberty speed to 160%.[/QUOTE] No one cares if you're 15 as long as you don't make such a big point about it. This thread, for example, was what we like to call a [b]mistake[/b]. 15 year olds, including myself when I was 15, think they know everything there is to know about the world. The truth is, you haven't experienced anything, at all, and nearly every opinion you have has been molded by your upbringing. Once you start to formulate your own, reasoned opinions, you can be considered 'respected'.

When I was 16 I always thought people were unfair to judge me by my age. Today, I judge by age. You'll get there soon as well, kiddo.
I judge by age, sometimes. I say sometimes because there are some kids that have been through more shit than I have. That's not hard I suppose I'm only 18. I wish I was younger oh no I'm turning into an old

Don't be an idiot and don't mention your age on these forums. [editline]02:05PM[/editline] That is, if you are below the age of 16.
I was 12 when I joined the forums. Hahahahahahahaha
I thought ageist meant we didn't believe in geography or something Ay-gee-ist
Who gives a shit about how old you are.
It's a scientific fact that maturity comes with age. 12-14/15 year olds are generally very immature. That's why. [editline]12:18AM[/editline] If you know how to act mature on the internet, but you're 13, good on you. Just don't tell us your age because we A) don't give a fuck and B) will stop reading your posts if you're younger than 16.
OP, I'm 15 too and you're an idiot. People are only ageist around here towards people under 13, because they legally speaking shouldn't even be on here.
Just act mature and no one will give a shit. Plus 15 is a lot older then some of the other fp'ers. But I think your ten OP
The problem isn't age. It's how dumb you are, and we've discovered that about 99% of kids on the internet under 17 are really dumb.
Because facepunch is a web forum, not a nanny. The moderators shouldn't be teaching you right and wrong through bans. You should be mature enough to come off as an adult. If people can tell how stupid you are through text, you're not very smart.
It's not about age. It's about maturity. You're only fifteen because we can tell you're fifteen because you're an immature little dick suck. Deal with it.
[QUOTE=WickedIcon;22720060]OP, I'm 15 too and you're an idiot. People are only ageist around here towards people under 13, because they legally speaking shouldn't even be on here.[/QUOTE] No I think you'll find that ageism affects all those under 16~ as that's where the majority lie.

Kolton: No Kolton: You said ageism should be illegal Kolton: if that were true Kolton: there would be NO age limits Crabbius Manicus: if the baby can safely use a weapon, it's better than a drunken hillbilly Kolton: Racism is illegal right? Are there ANY race limits? ... Kolton: nice comeback[/QUOTE]This seemed relevant
If they can tell your age from your post, it's obvious you're doing something wrong, immature, or dumb.
Most people in Facepunch are 16-ish. Pretty sad that a place that I probably wouldn't be able to go through a normal day without checking subscriptions is composed of 16 year olds, but whatever.
OP needs to get out of his imaginary world. I haven't seen any ageism on FP that wasn't justified by the poster being a dumbass in the first place.
[QUOTE=Kybalt;22721165]OP needs to get out of his imaginary world. I haven't seen any ageism on FP that wasn't justified by the poster being a dumbass in the first place.[/QUOTE] I kinda have. Can't honestly say where though. Either way, I saw this thread and thought that it'd actually have some intelligence in it. Personally, I somewhat agree with the thread [b]title.[/b] But the way the OP tried to describe it just backfired, and made it somewhat worse. It's kinda people like him that cause ageism.
Why not, i generally hate kids my age. They are very immature and it annoys me.
