Wikia staff have said they prefer not to have local staff enforce punishing underage users. You're supposed to report them.

The only reason this is an issue now is because the Discord exists under the wiki's control, without Wikia's guidelines grandfathered in.

If a user is under 13, we should establish a policy exclusive to the Discord that states "Users under the age of 12 will be banned."

The reasoning behind 12 as a minimum is due to the complications that come about when a user has been a member for a long time and is only a few months shy of 13.

Discord and Wikia both have guidelines against being under 13, and it's their job to enforce it. We could permit 12 year olds, but only because they pose less of a nuisance than younger users and it's not our job to enforce guidelines.
