Im looking for peoples opinions on this.

IMO I see a lot of people in comments complain about how some posts are pointless. I also see a lot of really bad conversations where people just argue for the sake of arguing. I have a feeling this is due to the younger group of people that have joined this site.

I believe if the age restriction is put up, we will be able to have more constructive conversation, rather than a mess of a community.

Or maybe another suggestion is to put an "under-age" mark on their profile.

I also just found out today that you only need to be 13 to be on this site. ( which is fine, its just hockey. But I believe it will clean the site up a lot.)

Seems pointless because people would just lie. I think the level of discourse is high enough that it's not an issue, or at the very least, it's very easy to avoid the garbage.

Suggesting that Capfriendly start tagging profiles who are under age seems like a really bad idea, and one that could be really dangerous and exploitative in the wrong hands.

Much as I sympathize with you about a lot of the infantilism on this site, I suspect that most of it comes from that part of the post-college crowd who have been used to being listened to during their learning years and haven't discovered that the world doesn't turn on their opinions. So I'm with @Claesson4Norris

I'd have to agree with OldNYIfan ... most of the dumb posts are probably coming from people in their 20's.

My generation is going to tear down the world ... one feeling at a time.
