Modifying Coppa

As I understand it, the coppa thing makes people under 13 give parental consent....that's all fine and dandy, but how can I modify it so it is 16 instead of 13?

Also, rather than allowing them to register as a coppa, I don't want them to be able to register at all. I know they could just click the other link if they were that desperate, but it's just something I'd like

How could I do this?

if you'd rather not even have the coppa submit button then just remove it from the template... also you could device a hack so that when they click register it will prompt them to input their age and if their age is under the required limit you could preform a ban on the ip address so that they wouldn't be able to sign up again... just an idea of course regards...

edit register.php, find:

PHP Code:

 $coppadate=vbdate($dateformat,mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y")-13)); 


Replace 13 as 16..

Modify template registercoppa and remove register links, put "You cant register to this board" warning instead..
