Okay I just recently finished checking out this forum post, that had the most barnacle requirement EVER! There is no way to debate around this, as what I'm about to discuss is going to be 100% opinion, but viewed by not only me, but MILLIONS of other people ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!!!
This so called "requirement" is an "Age" requirement. In the post, the author mentioned that he wanted "mature" and "dedicated" players. Tell me what is wrong with this requirement? Can't think of the answer? Well here it is:
"Age" has no control over how mature a person can be. Even a 4 year old kid can be mature. Why is this possible? Well, if someone is mature, it is because they CHOSE to be. Not because they are TOO young, or TOO old. I can already see tons of flame posts coming at me, so before you even speak, DON'T you dare say that a person has to hit "Puberty" to mature, because that is a totally different term. If you don't know what Puberty is, look it up or ask your parents, because I'm surely not going to tell you.
I think this was the right thing to do, because some of these server applications have the most non-sense requirements I've ever witnessed in all of my dear life.
If you agree/disagree with me please make sure you leave a comment below stating why you chose your choice.
I wan't to try to keep this topic alive, so people can realize that age has nothing to do with anything (unless we are talking about an R-rated movie).

ALSO! Apparently this post is getting a little out of control because of some users not understanding that there are 2 types of maturity. I'll leave everyone to discover those two types themselves, and please make sure you think before you post, because you might make yourself look immature when not knowing.
Just to cimbat that age has bearing in things like R rated movies. I'm 14 why shouldn't I be allowed to watch such a movie. Hell, an hour on 4chan is way worse for your mind than an R rated movie.
But you're wrong in the state that a 4 year old cannot be mature. He can be mature for his age, but not as mature as maybe an 18 year old.
there's a difference between maturity and lack of common sense. Older people may be more mature but have less common sense, thus making them look stupid.
Let me give you an example
Seeing a server that has an age requirement and coming to terms with this fact and moving on, even possibly setting up your own server for you and your friends so you have complete control over it would be mature
making this post after seeing a server that has an age requirement is not mature.
I'm 25 years old, but you're not alone in your thoughts.
Everyone has their own individual levels of maturity regardless of age, the simplest fact though is that as we age, we tend to mature. Not only by choice, but because of experiences. On the other side, some of us become trolls and terrible critics because of life experiences and age. To each his own.
Maturity is impossible to prove without time, sadly... there's no way around this.
I agree with you. Age reqs. are just plain silly. There's no real reason. But honestly, if they won't change it too bad and move on. That's their problem. Heck, I've seen 8 year olds with more maturity than some people who are 16!

Okay I agree with you in a way, but what you said is mostly opinion. Thanks for the feedback though.

Also, they have pop-ups that make you agree to their policy, which states that you MUST be mature to view any content that they are about to direct you to. If you are underage and choose to continue on, you would be immature.

Ok i'm going to go under the assumption that you're just playing stupid here. One, I honestly couldn't care less about my post count on a forum that I literally use solely to give feedback to others on their mods and maps, and occasionally post videos.
Two, I read the post, and how you acted was extremely immature. You flipped out and made, not only a post, but an entire topic dedicated to ONE SERVER that would not accept you because you were too young, instead of messaging the owner of the server and maybe working something out since you're close to the required age.
Age requirements are perfectly fine. If it's something like only 18+ and you're 16 I don't think it's as big a deal. However, you can be mature for your age, but maturity is attached to age, and that's scientific fact. Whether you want it to be or not.
Our hormones make up who we are and how we're feeling, and during puberty they're fluctuating like crazy. Especially serotonin. That doesn't stop balancing out until you're around 20.
Having an age requirement for a server where you want everyone to be mature is just smart.

Ok, I'm assuming you have the same mindset as the OP. You shouldn't be watching movies like that because it exposes you to things at a young age and generally goes deeper into it and adds a graphic detail to it that real life generally wouldn't. Everyone talks about drugs and cussing and whatnot in high school, but it doesn't give you a graphic viewpoint of it, it's all talk.
That is, unless you're hanging with the crowd that actually does it, in which case you won't care anyways.

You did not read the post at all. NO WHERE in it did I state or even give a hint that I posted an application for this server. You sir, are the one being immature at the moment.

Once again, someone else needs to read the post. I clearly stated that this was not the same type of "maturity" that you are discussing right now. There are 2 types of maturity: Logical and Physical. You are talking about the Physical maturity, which, in a way does impact your logical maturity. This is a debate, so I do appreciate your thoughts, but next time please make sure you be 100% certain of what you post, but your post does have something in common with my idea, but you did not state it, therefor, you are wrong.

Methinks you should go to General Off-topic, where this belongs. There's already a topic like this that's been discussed out.
I'm sorry I don't have time to browse back through dead-topics. Also, there is no way that the same thing was covered in that post. Also, this does cover something that involves Minecraft, so it DOES belong here.

Funny enough, High diction doesn't make you a more mature person. I didn't say you ever posted an application, you just weren't accepted because you were too young. I didn't say that you applied and they turned you down. But regardless, this isn't a big deal that you're making it seem. If you'd like to continue this debate, Message me with either your returning argument or the link to the off topic thread.

Actually, I think you clearly stated that a server would not accept me because I was too young. I never said anything to do with that in the post. Please review over your past replies before you put your foot in your mouth. Yes, that is a figure of speech.
Edit: For one to be accepted, or denied, that one person MUST have created an application of some kind, because the world accepted derived from application.

Dead topics? It's still being posted in. If you bothered to read around the forums before you go posting something in indignified rage, you would already have seen it.

I think you are blinded by your own rage. Remember, this is only opinion, and no, I'm not going to read around the forums, because:
1) I don't have to.
2) I don't want to.
