Even if it's not the admins' local job to personally block the users in question, it's still sickening to think that we require a vote about this because we don't report them the first time there's any evidence.

As for COPPA, I love a lot of the users here but if some of them are too young to be here, they shouldn't be here. As for what Ajr said about "soliciting personal information"– remember that all the underage kids are from the MBs, where it is allowed to post one's age. We know of users younger than thirteen based on evidence from there; we are not breaking Wikia's TOU or the whole purpose behind COPPA.

A to both.

LMBW would be more like a state. If you know about laws, some laws apply only to a state, and others apply to the whole country. For things that are more country-based (with the exception of murder and theft), the FBI handles it. I would have said state, but I felt there were too many wikis. Precisely; however I do not feel confident in our admins' or normal users' abilities to report to Wikia Staff They don't need to. The Wikia Staff does their own investigatings for global things. Not to be rude, but if this was the case, why did it take a user reporting Bourg to finally get the evidence required? Either Wikia Staff are far too incompetent for their jobs or they don't investigate deeply enough to catch these people. Bourgeoisie wants you to know that it was because he has a different IP (because his IP is dynamic and changes over time) now than he did when he used the ToaMeiko account, and he used a different email address to create the account, so it was difficult for staff to prove he was ToaMeiko. Also, not sure that he was reported... I know for a fact that he was reported, but the user in question wishes to remain anonymous. It wasn't any user's reports that got Bourgeoisie gblocked. In fact, reporting a gblocked user does nothing for Wikia staff when there's still no legitimate evidence that the account belonged to ToaMeiko. I'm going to repeat myself: "I know for a fact that he was reported, but the user in question wishes to remain anonymous." Said user provided the evidence required to remove him.

Yeah. He was reported. That doesn't have to do with his gblock, though. And what evidence was there?
