Title: looks like the age system on here needs to be fixed
Post by: greninja on November 28, 2014, 06:32:12 am
so earlier, i was messing around with the settings on my profile, and i realized that the age box didn't have any dropdowns, just boxes where i could type stuff in.
so i experimented.
and basically... well, go see for yourself on my profile. :P
(if you can't see it; my age is currently set to -7986. yes, negative 7986. this is wonderful.)

It's the way of this SMF forum, showing of age is a completely optional thing really that is only shown when visiting a profile. If people want to have ridiculous numbers for their age or displayed as their "character" (Undead, vampire or whatever they can come up with), it gives them the option if they want to be displayed this way.
Internet thing really, if you want to give people this freedom you know many will put whatever in there, don't really find it any worse having a user lying about their age being 17 instead of 14 for example, whilst something over the top like that you can easily see like a joke or "derp" thing.

...And with this discovery, I'd honestly be kind of sad to "fix" it, anyway. xD That's beautiful.
