Hey dad, come over here and stare at the screen for a bit.

Jesus, it's not kids buying these games. It's parents buying them for kids. The only people this would prevent would be removeds, teens who have their own jobs who pay for their own things. And even then, guaranteed they have the guy who buys them beer anyway.

Alright so am I the only one that thinks it's worse to have removed instead of whatever it was that you actually meant? It's like not showing the monster in a movie, the mind just runs wild ...

Oh, removed, during the scam attacks that was a common title and I banned it on my instance. I can unban it now that I set up an automod.

Edit. lol. Sixteen year old
