Honestly, I just feel like that this needs to be addressed. It's not a good thing that Wikia would globally disable a user instead of just globally blocking their account until their 13th birthday. Granted, non-globally disabling has happened one time with a user I know, but the rest I knew did get global'd. And because of this, we lost one of our past admins. We did let one user who did get globally disabled for being underaged back then stay, but that was almost three years ago, so not everyone knows.

Here's the current way our "no two accounts rule" is worded: "Two accounts are not allowed. It is an exception if you forgot your password on an account (or a backup account), or if you want to create a bot. A bad name is not a reason to have two accounts, as renaming your account will allow you to change your username without the need to create a second account. In addition, test accounts, backup accounts, and bots are also permitted, as long as they are not abused (for example, Brainulator9 uses the backup/test account Brainulator10 and the bot account BULBot). For more information, see Wikipedia's guidelines on sockpuppetry."

I feel like there needs to be a modification to the "no two accounts" rule, with letting a new account of a globally disabled user stay IF the reason for being globally disabled was due to being underaged. If there is proof that one new user is a new account of someone globally disabled due to being underaged, and is now no longer underaged (with proof, of course), then we should allow them to stay in their new account.

Why am I proposing this? Our rules state that we block underaged users until their 13th birthday, even if Wikia globally disables underaged users. I don't think we should permanently block users whose reason of blocking was already over to begin with and are no longer breaking any rules.

So, what do you think about my proposal? Leave your vote below.

NOTE: If no-longer underaged globally disabled users are already allowed to rejoin with new accounts, close the thread and please reword the rule because there's nowhere stated that they are allowed to avoid confusion.
