COPPA is the law that means you have to be 13+ to have an account.

Now, let's say someone joined when they were 12.

If they revealed their age, they would be banned until they turned 13. If they DIDN'T reveal their age, they'd stay. Simple.

Now, I've seen some idiotic people think COPPA doesn't apply to anywhere but America.

So, they're underage in somewhere like the UK. So, this is allowed, right?

Spoilers: I wouldn't be making this thread if I was wrong.

Correct! The answer is NO! It's not allowed.

Wherever you are in the world, it's not YOU that gets in trouble if you're underage.

It's Wikia. THEY get in trouble with COPPA. So, if Wikia is in America... Wow! That means ''you can't be underage no matter where you are! ''
