Meh, I don't really like having the COPPA rule here. But here're a few of my thoughts: And I dunno about the infinite ban thing. IMO, it'd be perfectly acceptable for someone to make a new account once they become 13 years old.
 * 1) If someone asks your age, you don't have to reveal it. Even if you're above thirteen, you've no obligation to reveal your age to strangers on the internet.
 * 2) The refusual to admit your age shouldn't be used as evidence of being under thirteen. If they refuse to give their age, we shouldn't drag the issue any further.
 * 3) If you reveal yourself to be under thirteen, then you've just admitted to violating COPPA and the Wikia terms of use.
