Sorry was afk for a while. My point was not about knowing who is on the other end, it was about not having to worry about it all. If I am an a adult guild, I usually don't have to worry about what I say in vent/guild chat (within reason of course). I like that, I have two little kids at home (stay at home Dad) and I have to watch what I say/do around them, I don't need to do it in my downtime as well. Also as other people have said, children cannot legally make a choice about what they do, it is ultimatly their parents responsiblity. I don't need to worry if vent is going to be monitored by your Dad/Mom and I am going to get chewed out. I have a 17 year old son, in fact almost exactly your age and I would most certainly, to borrow a secruity term, "vet" any guild he wanted to be a part of, because quite frankly I wouldn't want him in any that I have been in.
