Just what we need. Another Rochambeau-esque spammer.
His profile says he's 12. Isn't that enough for an automatic ban?
I wish. If true, it's illegal for him to be here, but if the yougo precedent is involved, Dave doesn't care.
There's a law against kids posting on a politics message board? If so, we've got plenty of minors...
Kids under 13, yes. Older, no. The law basically prevents kids under 13 from divulging any information that might be used to contact them (including email) which many forum operators require. I wouldn't say Dave has much of a reason to worry; the main organizations that actually get nailed for this are corporations which can pay the heavy fines that are levied for violation. It is my impression that they (the FTC, responsible for enforcement) wouldn't waste their time trying to get money out of him. Somebody would need to complain and have a problem with it for it to get their attention, and then worst comes to worst they would probably just demand that he enforce the law and ban all users under 13.
