When you create an account, you confirm that you are 18 or older.

If an account has a date of birth showing the person is under 18, that account cannot be used. Signing in shows a message that explains why.

You do not have to give your date of birth to join. You only need it if you choose to verify your identity. If you do enter a date of birth, it must show that you are 18 or over.

If you think an account has been refused by mistake, contact the community.

If you are worried that someone under 18 is using the platform, tell your community.
