Exactly, SO THEY DO NOT DESERVE AN ACCOUNT :evil: Do you really think me and Admin can go and delete 400+ accounts?

Unless you're IP banning/deleting these folks they can certainly come back. I think though, by pointing out the legal reasons involved into preventing users from under the age of 13 join, you've scared them off. :-}D
For now.

Well i mean i hate to ban members but if it is required (by law or what not) then it must be done.

Also, as an administrator there's a few ways you can remove accounts. You can de-activate them, but that does not fully clear the forum of the accounts - it just disables them so they cannot be used. That probably would be a good method for dealing with users under the age of 13 in the future, though granted banning is probably better as I am not certain how de-activation works here.
You can "ban" accounts... renders the account useless like above. ^
Deleting accounts actually gets rid of the account completely. You can set the forum to "purge" old and inactive accounts, but for statistical purposes this should not be done and I would recommend not deleting any accounts unless upon the user's request. I also recall of a "self-delete" option avaliable for a user but I am not sure if you guys have that option here.

Haha, yeah I don't think many users would want that option. I would think deleting is probably used more on the administrator's side... (;

I also recall of a "self-delete" option avaliable for a user but I am not sure if you guys have that option here. Inactivating an account is what we call Suspension on the WMB. Your account will be disabled, so when you try to log in, it says you are not allowed to. In order to get your account back on the WMB, you have to email the mods and ask for the suspension to be lifted. The mods do so and ask you to read the site rules again, then you get your account back. However, if you are suspended twice it's pernament. Not that this site IS WMB. I think to lift suspension, you should just have to ask?

Perhaps i am just bringing up an old thread, but since this is the official Hall of Fame thread i guess it is alright..... I think it is time for Shadeforest to be in the Hall of Fame since she has over 2,000 posts and is extremely helpful.
I also think Kestrelfeather would be a good choice to add to the Hall of Fame, though i recall asking Admin to add her while we where thinking about creating the thread. If i had any doubts of Kestrel being ready to be in the Hall of Fame they are gone now, she is a veteran member and her post count has stood for quite awhile despite her being inactive.
Just suggestions, but i really think they are deserving of this.
