Here is the thing: we can't stop anyone from creating an account. It's impossible. With this being the internet, people will always lie about their age. Those who claim to be 14 years old may secretly be 11 years old. If you have solid proof that a user is underaged, simply report them so that they can be blocked until they are 13 years old.

And let me be honest here. I dislike the fact that users will have to lie about their age so that they can join Wikia when they already know that people who are only 13 and older can have an account. Yes even underaged people can be really smart but they are not fully grown up to make their own decisions. Then there goes people saying the COPPA law sucks when in fact it was implemented as to protect children online.
