Hi, Lately, a bunch of people over the age of 40 (what you would normally consider adult) have been joining my site that is limited to teens and young adults. There have been a few people complaining about this, but just to get things straight, what would you consider a "young adult"? someone that's 20-30? From this point on, I'm going to start banning people who are over the age limit, but first I need to clarify on what exactly is a "young adult" or if there's a more appropriate term. Hopefully you can help me. Thanks in advance!
All you need to do is decide the what age limit to want to set and then define it i.e. "teens and young adults (under 23)" etc... of course that won't prevent someone from lying about their age.
on my old teen site i used to ban anyone over the age of 26. if its strictly for teens then no one over 19 should be on it. if its a concerned adult joining then when u ban them you also supply them with an email address so they can contact you.
I have a site sort of similar, i actually had a problem with too young of people joining. So i have an age limit from 16-26.
