I know it all depends on your experiences and values. Some 12yr olds are hecka good at games and know how to keep their mouths shut. I joined hecka 18+ yr old clans when I was 12 which was a year ago and they all let me in because I was: a great player, talked about important things, knew when to keep my mouth shut, ect. But ya I agree that girls shouldn't be in Boys Scouts. Kinda defeats the purpose. Would you girls like to see a boy selling girl scout cookies in your troop?(mmmm girl scout cookies. I just bought like 10 boxes)

IT DOESNT MATTER THE AGE, IF IT IS A GOOD PLAYER! IM 14 AND IM NOT AS BAD AS SOME 18 YEAR OLDS!

and that 12 yera old clan; how would you get money to buy a server, a web site, and how organised whould you be. Money is every thing in a clan, You need money to play in ladders. And some clans want more mature players...

i'm 12, and a great player. Just recently our clan ahs changed the rules to make it that recurts have to be 18 +.

only mature, dedicated players will ever get into my clan. i see immaturity etc. and they are gone. the thing is usally with higher ages come maturity, skill, and money in no certain order other than maturity comes first.

I think that disctimination in clans shouldnt be something to bitch about cause they can do whatever they want but i think if you have the skill and dedication you should be able to get into a clan no matter your age. Actually those lil' ones would probably be good in a clan cause they are the only ones who really have that much free time to dedicate to a clan. Anyone over 18 who is in a clan in fact seriously needs to find something better to do with their time. I dont like the ideas of clans anyway cause ur taking a game to seriously and all you need to do is just chill out and have fun whenever u got some time free. You shouldnt try to turn gaming into a career or anything cause its just not natural and rather pathetic.

Where is it written that I can't at the age of 31 do what I wan't with my pastime? Not natural? Tell me a job that is, natural?

As far as the age thing: Anyone who says that age has nothing to do with maturity. Is in fact the ones being put in the catagory. Your age has everything to do with maturity. Because of life experiance. You don't mature automaticly, but by the things you live through, experiance, responcibility.

exactly, well put.

age
 

age shouldn't matter..i've seen 20-40 yr old people act like 12...it's how you act and handle yourself...i can see kickin players if they are an annoyance..i was playin on a server and this guy was older and he just wouldn't shut up and kept holding his talk key down and really ruined the game...i've played games with 12 yr olds that played excellently and 20-30 yr olds that totally sucked...it's all in how you handle yourself...

"...Discrimination occurs when the civil rights of an individual are denied or interfered with because of their membership in a particular group or class. Statutes have been enacted to prevent discrimination based on a persons race, sex, religion, age, previous condition of servitude, physical limitation, national origin and in some instances sexual preference..."

Sure, but it isn't a right to join someones clan, it is a privilage. Yes, this is discrimination, but it is not "bad" discrimination. No court would would make them except you ;) .
