A few good apples in a pile of three-week-old-compost are usually going to be overlooked. I'm sorry, but most people will categorise all thirteen-year-olds as immature douchebags simply because it's easier (and usually safer) than weeding out the handful of decent people from the heap of, well, average teenagers.
I run a private server, and two out of the seven regulars are thirteen or below. They're both fairly normal people, and none of the rest of us actually realised it until they volunteered the fact that they were that age.
The problem is, if there are two thirteen-year-olds on a server full of older people, the chances are almost astronomically small that they will both turn out to be people like Super and Moli (the two aforementioned thirteen-or-younger people on my private server). So, it's much safer and easier to categorise all thirteen-year-olds as immature, follish idiots.

just say that u r a girl. When minecraft nerds see a girl get on thier server, they go nuts and drool over them. they wont care if ur 10. if ur a girl then ur on the whitelist <--- no puns intended
I.. I'm not even going to comment on that. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go puke.
Refer to Call of Duty's community. Instant reason. Atleast, in most video games thats my reasoning.
Though not all kids are bad, but most are sadly.
And another thing is, I don't exactly promote lieing and such...but unless you use skype or something with them..just say you are older..idk..I mean if you are being mature and not an idiotic kid then its no big deal imo.
Aww man... When I was taking admin duties on a server for the day, I had several bad grammar 12-13 year olds fly hacking and claiming that they mad e n1 epix ju4P!!1... It's the community trying to keep out these kind of things.
But holy sh** why haven't i've seen someone like you? Much preferred you over the complete idiots I had to ban...
It's not so much physical age as it is mental age (especially since no one can easily check your age in Minecraft). Basically, 16+ applies to mentality and not actual age, i.e. if you are as mature or more mature than a 16 year old, you're fine. Just translate physical age restrictions to mental ones pretty much.
Often people who discriminate people because of their age are rather immature.

To all of you people who think Notch is still working on the game, he stopped working on Minecraft in late 2011. Get your facts straight and stop spamming his twitter about Minecraft updates.
Often people who discriminate people because of their age are rather immature.
I don't agree with this, but I think if you swapped it around then that would be true. So instead of those that discriminate because of age are immature, those that are immature discrimiate against age.
An obvious example of this is insurance. 18 year olds have to pay much more on car insurance than 40 year olds. Why? Because they are the more reckless and likely to cause an accident. Again, it's not all 18 year olds, but those few that do do something reckless. So the previous poster would assume that all those in the company's are immature.
I tried to join a server recently, and I was rejected for being 13. So I look at some other threads (Mostly of clans and servers) and most have age requirements.
Why?
We can be as mature as anybody else, it's just most of us choose not to. Why shut out the mature ones just because of some morons? I use grammar, I know the english language, I am mature. Why am I not allowed on most servers/clans?
Would some server owner please explain to me how I, a person that has never griefed in my entire life am not allowed on your server, or at least most other servers?
I don't see how this would be in the wrong section, but if it is, I'm sorry.
This is why a lot of people/servers/clans reject 13 year old's. You are acting kind of rude in this post.
Just because you think you're mature enough to join a 16+ doesn't mean you are. Even if you understand the health hazards of smoking at 13 doesn't mean you're allowed to smoke. Either you lie about your age or wait a few years, the choice is yours, junior.
Sorry, you will be the only person I will be replying to.
So, basically, going on a 16+ server is as bad as smoking and I can't do it? Yes, because 16+ servers will give me lung cancer, kill me, destroy my life, and give me a terrible body smell. Pure genius.
"I totally agree with you 100%."
Thank you.
"*Insert some fact of life obvious statement I have been complaining about for the past 3 days*"
Are you... just.... stop. Please.
Look, Most people have pretty much been saying that it's a fact of life.
Well, it shouldn't be. Why not simply ban the immature ones, and keep the mature ones? The second you see griefing, boom. Banned. Safe your worlds, it's not too hard. I save my server every hour that I'm on. How about just remove age limit, and then ban the noobs.
THAT is what I want. I want to see people putting these rules on your server. Not keeping a close eye on them, not shutting them out completely, just simply leaving them alone (Or talk to them like normal human being) and then banning them IF they cause trouble.
This is why a lot of people/servers/clans reject 13 year old's. You are acting kind of rude in this post.
I'm sorry. I had my dad, my mom, and my sister proofread it, and they found nothing rude in that post. What could possibly offend you in my post? Is it because I'm not adding "pretty please" at the end of every sentence and asking for permission to be allowed on servers that discriminate against me?

If it has been suggested a lot, then maybe, just maybe, it should be implemented because obviously a lot of people want it.
Okay, this is about 5 pages and I don't feel like replying to each and every single person. So, I will reply to some common ideas people have told me.
"This is why 13 year olds aren't allowed on servers, you were so rude!"
... Again, this is taking out an entire age, and blocking them based on a few people.
"Just pretend you're 16 dude..."
I shouldn't HAVE to. That's the problem.
"Pretend you're a girl. You get whitelisted for being a girl."
Lol I just might try this.

some how i kind of doubt you had your mom, dad, and sister proofread it. On topic:I agree with servers that wont let 13 year olds in, almost all 13 year olds are very annoying, although there are a select few who are actually mature and if you are very mature then you should just put down what age you think you are mentally thats what i do anyways.

I did. It wasn't hard, it's not like they were busy...
And, you can EASILY save the server, in case someone griefs. Making an entire age group out to be griefers, is just insulting to us mature 13 year olds that have to put up with this crap.
Hey man, Ive suffered from this a lot, last year when I was 12 it was almost impossible to join a server without lying about your age, and now Im 14, and it is still hard, but remember that age has nothing to do with maturity, a 13 year old can be stupid, and a 21 year old can also be stupid

What i want to know, exactly how does the people know the noobs and annoying players people talked about are young? I mean, how do you know they are not like 18 year immature people?
They dont, stupid person in minecraft = 13 year old living in their parents basement.
Thats the logic that MC players have.
Ya, it appears just assumeing using stereotypes is proof. Annoying/stupid noob on minecraft? It has to be a 12 year old. Well, theres proof that all 12 and under are annoying.
When I was 12, I was quite immature. But I knew that enough was enough, I wasn't stupid, I could use a keyboard w17h0u7 7@1k1ng L1k3 7h1$. But I was only immature around my friends, other than that, I was mature around everyone else who didn't know me that well. I guess most teens now aren't raised right, or maybe they focus too much on society and how kids on t.v. act. Plenty of 13 year olds I know act like little immature 2 year old children. And, lying about your age is something that is done a lot. It sucks, but most owners don't care, I mean, what are they going to do? Background check you? But sometimes, I do hide my age, just to show people how mature this 13 year old is. And, half the time, they decide to let me stay.
My age happens to be 11 but I usually hide my age and say I'm 16-19 or something like that. Personally I tend to get along better with people who are 16-19. What I see is most 9-12 year olds grief or something like that and say they are ''trolling'' are they really that stupid? They waste their time to do something that won't affect anything? Seriously? People who know about my age say I am different from other people my age.
funny thing is that i get request from servers that want me to join that usualy accept 16-18+ of age and when i mention i'm under age requirement they let it slide, but i usualy ignore request from servers i don't know about anyways(plus I'm taking a break from MC anyways good thing i have ace of spades and OpenTTD to play as MP games)
As someone pointed out, you'd understand better when you're much older... Me personally, if I ran a server I wouldn't allow little kids, i just rather not deal with it. Although some of you can be mature, you still act rebellious. No in directs but some of you started calling these immature kids stupid, and it has nothing to do with stupid. You claim to be mature, but how mature are you really by insulting others? Just because a 13 year old is different from you as a 13 year old doesn't mean they're stupid.
Kids are kids and that's what some people tend to forget. I'm sure there is plenty of servers that let some of you slide, but everyone who runs their server has every right to have an age limit as well as you have every right to complain about it. My suggestion is, run your own server, I've seen 12 years run servers... gather some more of your friends of young age having trouble finding a server.
I run a private server, and two out of the seven regulars are thirteen or below. They're both fairly normal people, and none of the rest of us actually realised it until they volunteered the fact that they were that age.
The problem is, if there are two thirteen-year-olds on a server full of older people, the chances are almost astronomically small that they will both turn out to be people like Super and Moli (the two aforementioned thirteen-or-younger people on my private server).
