I realize anyone oblivious to the "brony" culture will be shocked at this, but this is actually not a server for young children.
There has been 2 incidents here where we banned a young child for breaking the rules, only to have an angry parents contact us about it. The latest is a 6 year old girl that supposedly "cried for days" after we banned them for being an idiot. In truth, little kids aren't idiots, they are just perfectly normal little kids being kids! And I really don't want us making kids cry.
After some discussion with the admins, we just now came up with the age of 11 as the minimum. We have no way to age check, so let me explain the reality of this. We will not be asking people to verify their age, all anyone has to do is keep the fact they are very young to themselves and its not a problem as long as they can be mature.
But if some little kid somehow finds us and reads none of the rules (believe it or not, some people don't read the rules!), we can just politely ask them how old they are, and if they say anything under 11, we can politely tell them they are too young to be here and just ban them.
You will be glad to know there are actually a lot of MLP themed servers, so anyone too young for here should try one of those! I maintain a list of other servers at hoofbump.com. As far as child friendly servers goes, Ponycraft.net specifically states they welcome all ages.
New age minimum: 11 years old
