User blog comment:PurpleStripedFudgeParole239/Why The Age Rule For Chatmods Should Be Changed/@comment-3247345-20111112052424

While I'm not sure if I agree with the age rule, it's stupid that when it was introduced people that were mods got demoted. If they have to have the rule, they should at least let the people that were already mods before the rule stay mods even if they are younger than 13. I agree that age is a number. When I was 12, my mom though I was mature enough to be home alone for a weekend. I know 20 year olds that are immature and should not be considered adults just because they're over 18. While it's true people mature with age, different people reach a certain level of maturity different ages. Deciding whether someone's mature enough to do something should be decided based on the indvidual, not how many times the Earth has gone around the sun in their lifetime.
