[War_ooc] An age limit?

[Iain]

I think that an age limit as Michael says, is an unrealistic thing to be
able to enforce. A content warning is appropriate but I think a player
should be judged on their maturity to handle the game and their writing
skills rather than their age?

I think we should put a warning on our website that the game is for 17
and up as a matter of course, but realistically how can we actually
check or enforce something like that? I think it should serve more as
a warning for what to expect to see in the game. Anyone under 17 is
just going to lie about their age anyway if they want to sign up.
