Hi guys and gals,

my daughter who is 6 next week wants to be a signaller when shes older, so I was thinking of giving her an account on SimSig, so I was just wondering, is there an age limit for SimSig?

No, there is no age limit to having an account on this board; though you don't need an account to play SimSig (save if she wants a licensed Sim). There maybe restrictions on attending a meet but that's more a Landlord rule.

As SimSig is now owned by an American company, COPPA might apply here and limit the forum to > 13 years old.

Not entirely true - I am a moderator on another forum our servers were hosted in Virginia so the US rules applied. That required under 13s to have parental approval - not a blanket ban on under 13s.

Mind you the wisdom of letting a 6 year old loose on forums is a good question. If there is parental supervision then the need for the account is also questionable.

Kindest regards

John

We don't specifically aim for children <13, nor have absolute knowledge that such ages provide information to the site.

That's not a requirement of the Act.

Very true. We aim for family friendly but can't guarantee it if somebody posts something objectionable before it gets canned.
