May I point out there is currently no tracking of age? And, even if there was, it would be very easy to lie and claim you are older.

For the record, I have known some extremely successful, mature players on Warlight who are under 18. At least one of them is a prominent leader in the competitive clan community. To insult the work they have done here, borders on insanity.

Why are you playing open games if you don't like them?

I know trolls in real life,

and I know friends who are trolls on Facebook...
which is not the same thing, but it provides a lot of evidence of real life.

And yes age imparts some maturity...

And life experience imparts some maturity...

but there are no guarantees... not even close.

However, there are different kinds of unwelcome behaviors...
not all of which I would lump into trolling, but okay...
and some can be avoided if you can avoid people under the age of 13, 16, 18, 21, etc...

And some kinds of unwelcome behaviors can be avoided by avoiding players / alts with nothing to lose... such as level 1 players.

And some kinds of unwelcome behaviors can be avoided by using smart prereqs, checking settings, player profiles, clan pages, etc...

And some kinds of unwelcome behaviors will become more common with the players that you have left...

Im not a troll and Ill boot without asking everytime, whether its my teammate or not. If you're going to make everyone else wait, when there is a specified boot time then you deserve to be booted.

Just create a clan and be restrictive about the sorts of people you let in. It's also pretty easy to filter by clan- the WL search function lets you search only for members of a clan by typing in the name of the clan, at least in the Friends section.

Servers cost thousands, so if you wanted this to happen, you'd need to earn thousands more. Alternately, the benefit would have to be equivalent to a thousand.

^ Yeah, I don't think OP understood what a "server" is. There's no need for a dedicated server to manage an "adults-only" section of the website, just like there's no need for a separate server to manage a clan.

They wouldn't need to buy more of them, they would just repurpose a few of the current ones.

As for age, most countries don't allow young people to drive or to drink alcohol or to vote. Why? To ban the young people who are generally immature and stupid from having too much power. Our governments for the most part don't care about the few good young people out there that would use these things responsibly. The governments still ban all the young people from certain things because it is widely accpeted that there are far more irresponsible, immature, and clueless adolescents (and younger) out there than there are responsible, mature, and half witted adolescents (and younger).

I really don't know why everybody is so opposed to a bunch of adults going and playing on a different website and not bothering anybody. Its not like we would do anything that would harm you. It seems like the trolls just don't want people to leave this website and go to an adults only (verified through facebook) warlight because then they wouldn't have anybody to troll. Let me remind you again. This isn't a huge policy change to warlight. Everything on the original website would operate as usual. Its just that there would be another place for adult players to go which really has no downsides to it.

You all know this may happen, right? (In a sense, at least.)

This site was made for 13+, not a lot of games have different age servers, they follow the original age limit. So you will have to deal with it, go and play games with your mature hunters clan.

Trolling is a lifestyle choice . it's not determined by age or by level , you can't just say a newbie is a Troll. Right?

I'm 45-years-old and I troll all the time. If you don't appreciate a good trolling you my friends have no sense humor.

I have to ask... Why do you find it fun to make people depressed and angry?

I boot people people all the time
[hide=you are a troll]I surrender often, almost trying to boot myself[/hide]

BBcode failed me there

Okay first of all, Kids don't have the brain function to drive, vote, or drink because their minds are still developing and growing. Drinking would damage the brain at a young age. Driving would be dangerous. Also when you were 8 could you reach the pedals? Voting has an age limit because kids have no idea what politics even are and give them the choice to vote could just ruin the country forever.

Also a lot of kids are mature and although this has been said by a lot of people trolling is not just 18 and under.

Why do you find it fun to make people depressed and angry?

Wow, anyone who gets depressed from being trolled is an absolute weakling, unless it's a really bad and distasteful troll. And as for making folk irked, that's just natural sadism that we have since we were babies. If you get angry being trolled, you're also weak.

Not true. Trolling is causing a negative reaction in people, generally people you don't know. The whole point is to make the person you are "Trolling" angry or sad and play on that.

I think to many people confuse trolling with having a joke/laugh. They're two completely different things.

Nah. Trolls know when they are trolling. At least every troll I have come across has admitted to it.
