Seems like a good idea on principle, but a few things from my own personal view point.

Many young members here, are good members with good reputations: gingeman, tristanperry, me?

Opinions on members is subjective: some members dont like the way I have done some things, lots do. It is difficult to ban someone because they are young as it essentially portrays the fact that you would want to ban people you dont like,

When you are young, you are immature, as you grow older expereiences help you to mature. Removing the experiences removes the opportunity to mature.
I am not saying dnf should be a forum for little kiddies to destroy, rather that all people should be treated under the same rules with the intention of learning and broadening their horizons.

I feel 9MM should be banneed in this case, but not because he is a kid, rather because he is being blooming rude.
After his banning, hopefully he can come back and engage with other members in nice transactions like he has with Reece.

Lastly I have to agree that many of the members here are immature at times. Some more than others. At DNF Immaturity is not age subjective. I see loads of 'adults' being immature here. Thus if you introduce any rule it shouldnt be to ban young members, rather simply 'immature' members.

Good day to y'all.
Tom
