User blog comment:Drew1200/Inappropriate Chat Conversations/@comment-24876815-20140613054610/@comment-5381241-20140614155920

1. We have had these types of conversations for a long time and chat has never gone "really inactive". Not only that, if somebody has a problem with what is going on on chat, they don't (shouldn't) leave. They should ask the user(s) to stop or get a mod/admin's help.

2. Yes, they are usually very inappropriate, hence the reason why Drew is taking such extreme actions. This extreme, however, is beyond ludicrous.

3. It's a pointless rule? Do you really want kids the ages of 7-10 running around on the internet? I'm sure their parents don't. COPPA keeps kids -13 from being able to have access to certain things on the internet so that we won't have to worry about them running into some bad things/signing up for garbage/getting bad emails/etc. Once you hit 12-13, I'm pretty sure that's about the time when your common sense kicks in and you know what you're doing.
