You seem to have misunderstood alittle, I'm not too sure where you got language part from, but I never mentioned that in my above post. If the person speaks another language you can be sure I wouldn't just flake them off, I'm a decent person and I can understand if somebody doesn't speak english well.
I don't know what it is..I really don't, I have a knack though for knowing peopls ages. Maybe its because I'm in AP English and I love to read and I'm probably the best writer in my class, but I just have a knack, not sure what to say of it, of knowing what someone's age is by reading their writings. If the person was 34 years old and their grammar was all horrible, I could still tell their age by the words used and the overall feeling from the thread. Other than if it were a 12 year old who wrote excellent grammar (which I have yet to come across on my forums, but its totally possible) I could still tell their age. From my experience on many many forums, I can tell usually if another person speaks another language, so its not as if I was blinded to reject somebody who spoke english horribly but might have been 17 years old. Anyway, before I get ahead of myself, I just wanna say I'm sorry for offended you if I have because I noticed your forums are also anime and the majority of the content is directed towards the younger viewers (dragon ball, pokemon, et cetera), and I'm sure some of those kids are young but speak perfectly. My forums, on the other hand, I like to direct towards the more mature anime, such as Kenshin or Cowboy Bebop. I just thought this hack would be a great way to filter out some of the ages, who in my opinion, shouldn't be exposed to the maturer animes anyway (12 or younger). These are great animes, and I like very mature discussions and sophisticated discussions on them, but once in awhile I get a member who is young and, not to mention, probably new to the web. This person will break the rules, such as spamming, and the moderators will warn them and explain to them whats right and not right. But more importantly, they will start topics on pokemon, or childish things (a recent one I deleted was "icecream is good", posted in the general anime section).
Anyway, this is getting long so I'll just end it here with saying I can probably create the hack myself over the weekend, and when I do I'll post it up in this thread.
