We can't keep pretending that age is not a factor in admin applications. Let's face it, we're not going to allow an 11 years old kid to be in a position of power on the Skial servers, so why don't we decide on a minimum age for admin applications?

This is an M rated game, no?

So wouldn't it make sense to make that the minimum age for a mod? Isn't that 17? I know 100% that anyone under the age of 16 is too stupid to mod.

Ruelel is 16... but I digress.

I think that, as long as one gets +reps from the regulars of a server then they should be allowed in. Obviously, it's up to the current admins to decide who should get in, and I really do think it should be based on maturity and recommendations, not age.
 
I've seen people even younger than me run successful and popular GMod servers.
Hell, I used to admin a gaming forum that had ~10 people on it a day.
 
It doesn't matter how you guys look at this or what your opinion is. There is no way we can verify a persons age when they post their application. Putting this as a requirement would be pointless.
 
I think it should just boil down to how mature the person is, ie does he frequently fight with people, does he grief the server, etc.

As Bottiger has it in the guidelines, you need lots of people to support you, need good connection time, and you need approval from other admins/Bottiger. If someone can do that at the age of 14/15, then why not give them admin?
 
Not legally.
Q: Do all minors need a work permit?
A: Nearly all minors ages 14 through 17, regardless of their attendance in a public school, must obtain a work permit before beginning work or participating in any training. Exceptions for this rule include minors working as:
From the in,gov website.
 
I think any age should, really it depends on how you act, not a number.
But if there WILL be a restriction, 14.
 
16 as it's more around the time when you realize that you were a fucking moron and that mostly everyone younger than you and you know are younger are fucking moronic douches. and it's also the time when you start getting your shit together.
but we really can't know people's age but it's always is easy to find out of maturity of their actions and behaveure (i have an excuse as i have ADHD and am kind of crazy)(fuck it i can't write behavure)













. . . also it's gonna be more convenient for me as i'm 16
