This is purely common sense. Besides why would you even joke about something like that in the first place?

As the mod in question, I deny everything.

Seriously though, tc is telling the truth. Fandom policies are SUPER strict about under 13s...

why does it even matter though

we're not allowed to post anything a 13 year old would possibly be offended by anymore, a 12 year old wouldn't be any different

Because it could be funny. And most people have the common sense to know when something is a joke. Unfortunately Fandom is a soulless corporation.

Could make a corny joke and someone is like "what are you, 10?" easy comeback is just to say you are.

If we put our age in our sig can we still make jokes? Like my sig becomes "actual age: 40"

On a side note the same mod also mentioned that using alts to bypass suspension / purgatory will get the alt suspended now. No answer yet on if this also applies to warned. They confirmed use of alts is still okay as long as your main is in good standing.
On this part: Got confirmation that this does not apply to Warned; and that (subject to your main no longer being in bad standing) using an alt to access CE if your main can't is also fine.

Also that bans effectively are auto-KoS.

Didn't someone get permabanned for saying they were a fetus?

Your experience doesn't stack up to Allen straight up saying the meme was now allowed though. I remember it clearly because I found it amusing that it was now allowed seeing as I got banned for it a little while before. Should be somewhere around 2011-2012 that the change happened as I got hit for it in 2010 IIRC.
And I'm talking about the specific "I am 12 and what is this" meme, not similar posts and such.

It has been allowed under Allen's reign due to it's meme status, so was claiming to be ridiculously underaged like stating you were a baby or something, I guess Fandom are not screwing around with any of that though

I stand corrected. I guess maybe I didn't notice it because it was mainly allowed when it was like, BLATANTLY obvious somebody was posting a dumb meme, whereas the edge cases still got modded more often than not.

You could've actually read the topic though. Not only has it not always been the case in certain instances, you had the option to prove your actual age and overturn the ban. Now that option is gone and all the instances where claiming to be UAU as a joke were allowed now aren't.
I'm surprised the part about purg / ban evasion isn't getting more attention.

But now you can never save yourself. Fandom won't undo the ban ever. No matter how many copies of your ID you send them

What if you joke about being a time traveler from the future and technically aren't born yet?
You are still an adult. If you can prove you come from the future and you actually grew up , just in a different time, then you should be allowed to post here

way back in the pleistocene epoch, there used to be a particular way of phrasing a claim of being underage that was an autoban. i mean a few seconds later that account was toast

You definitely made this up.
It either happened like that or someone said they were 1 year old. I remember someone getting banned for that a long time ago. It might have been on LUE.
Commanders, Caps, Orioles
So, if I ask someone if they were born yesterday, and their answer is a sarcastic yes, will that also get them banned?

I'm asking because I'm bored.
When did I realize I was God? Well, I was praying and I suddenly realized I was talking to myself.

Im not taunting at all. You said it could be funny. I asked how. Your refusal to answer is pretty worrisome.

There was literally a "How Old Are You" section in the ToS (now Tou) for this.

It was an instant ban. No locks.

I was 15 when I made this account. That was 18 years ago
Fact: Nintendo is the best, there is no point denying it.
I had an account banned for saying "I'm 12.999...", making light of the constant topics we had back in the day of 1=0.999 repeating. Had to go back to the mods explain that was actually 13, and got my account reinstated with a warning not to play cute.
