Banning

[LordofLightning]

Have is it ever pained you guys to see people with like 100 positive rep who've been members for years and have helped so many people get banned for petty things like "wasn't 13 at time of signup". What are your thoughts? Should exceptions be made for these kinds of small things for these people? Do you think it's driving these people to go to [Censored]?

Who was banned for having such high rep when they were under the age limit for MCM?

Is there a way to view threads you've seen? It was on one of the first threads I viewed on this account but by now it's probably at the bottom in the deep dark forgotten archives.

I'm 90% sure its one of 1337 's slaves that got banned for being under 13 which I saw a while ago

Fox's Slaves? A little context here? What do you mean?

Also I'm pretty sure the guy I'm talking about had over 200 rep. pretty sure it was like 279 but not 100%

So after digging through the original post and reading the interpretation of the comments, your question is why do 'reputable' members get banned for being <13 years old?

The reason for that is legal. A law called COPPA (Child Online Privacy Protection Act) requires companies to get parental permission before storing any identifiable data about children age 12 or younger.
So either we'd need to painstakingly collect the digital equivalent of permission slips, or we ban people from being on the site. Of course, if we do not know they're 12 or younger, we won't ban them for it. As soon as we find out, however, we NEED to ban them. Usually we'll unban after they can verify they've turned 13 (not something we're gonna do for every member preemptively), so while it is technically a permaban, in reality it's just until they're 13, which is usually a few months away at most.

So it's not that they've done anything wrong on the site, it's that they did something wrong when signing up, which is technically lie about their age.
Everyone does it, and in this context there's not really any harm in it, but the site has legal obligations that it can't risk ignoring. Even 99.9% of cases we ignored were not a problem, that 1 in a thousand time that it DID become a problem would mean loads of costs and paperwork at the least.
