13yr OLDS REGISTERING ON E-CIG FORUMS....RIGHT OR WRONG

[Petrodus]

I would not join a uk based e-cig forum as it allows members as young as 13. I could be telling someone how to mix high strength base liquid & wouldn't know if I was talking with an adult or a kid. I can see no reason whatsoever for kids so young to be members on an e-cig forum, other than they are vaping. Or am I wrong? Have I read the rules wrong? Perhaps something I missed. Its to do with these pro-boards forums that allow 13yr old members.

I agree there's really no effective way to screen based on age. If a 9 year old
wants to join a discussion group with age restrictions ...
Won't be long before they would get a message: "Welcome to the forum"

I'm not familiar with the UK form in question
However, if it is similar to the ECF ... You don't have to join a forum to get information.
Subjects discussed can be viewed by anyone with a computer and an Internet connection.

Today ... When networking on the NET ... You don't know for sure what the age of the
person your talking with or even sure if they are male or female.

Agree with Petrodus, if one could source for a forum of such, theres no way it would restrict them from signing up aside from having IDs a requirement scanned in order to register.

I think that this forum based information is collective resource available to all, could be more accurate due to personal experiences rather than randomly googled sites.

If i were them, and were restricted to this forum due to age limit, does it mean that i would stop all attempts at getting a pv or mixing my own juice? Think i would probably just jump straight in and get myself killed kind if you know what i mean.

I can't rightly say I'm against it-I was on "Adult" nature sites back when I was 13. There are no good ways to stop it/restrict access, and honestly, if they DO join a forum, and it's found out, then yeah-kick 'em off.

Fact is, these kids are going to find a way no matter what-might as well have a slightly HEALTHIER option.

Hey if i kid can go on a porn website why not a vaping website. I would have went crazy without porn when i was a teen lol and i wish there was a vaping site to help me quit smoking when i was a teen. Thats just the internet. If a kid is on a vaping site its probably for a reason like quitting smoking. I cant see kids thinking vaping is just a cool thing to do.Id be more happy to see them on a vaping site then a smoking site. Theres really no way to stop it from happening . Its the world we live in.There is much worse sites they could be on. I wouldnt promote them to go on vaping sites but wouldnt stop them either.
