AutoBan Does it Again?

This method is unavailable to me.

 

I'm not in the US however, so what does coppa have to do with me anyways?

You already have my IP. This proves I do not live in the US. COPPA only applies to any website that takes information from children under 13 in the US.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COPPA
This is an American law, however, the Federal Trade Commission has made it clear that the requirements of COPPA will apply to foreign-operated web sites if such sites "are directed to children in the U.S. or knowingly collect information from children in the U.S."


Another thing I've read about COPPA is that it's directed towards the marketing of these children. Using the information they provide to make money off them.

If you guys make a privacy policy stating that information will never be shared with any third parties and that only specifically assigned administrators have access to the information and that it is protected / encrypted you should have no problem letting children under the age of 13 play.

 

This website doesn't state if it covers foreign children. That's unfortunate.

When does the operator of a website or online service have “actual knowledge” of someone’s age? Although the Rule doesn’t define the term, the FTC has said that an operator has actual knowledge of a user’s age if the site or service asks for – and receives – information from the user that allows it to determine the person’s age. For example, an operator who asks for a date of birth on a site’s registration page has actual knowledge as defined by COPPA if a user responds with a year that suggests they’re under 13. An operator also may have actual knowledge based on answers to “age identifying” questions like “What grade are you in?” or “What type of school do you go to? (a) elementary; (b) middle; (c) high school; (d) college.”

We're not going to play games here. I'm locking this topic. If you can prove to us you are above the age of 13, which is why the person you were impersonating was originally banned, then we will unban you. Until then, we will assume based on the evidence shown that you are the same person, under the age of 13, and therefore, not allowed to hold an account on our server.
