Maybe a 12 year old age limit? But then again, you would get some liars.

I would like to add something to my ealier post. For the third time yesterday, I had a little kid write a review saying that my Nazgul is not a Nazgul. Well, after the first to times, I put a long quote from the books onto the pages, but does he read. No, they never do. I emailed the kid, and told him, nicely, that it was indeed a Nazgul. So he changes his rating from a three to a one, and his review to something about a lack of wings. And of course, he does not respond. This kind of stuff annoys me. Right now, obnoxious reviews can be deleted. However, the ratings that go with them cannot. I emailed the MOCPages support to see if it would be possible to add a "delete the rating as well as the review" function, but I am not hopeful. What do you think, is that kind of thing even a possibility, or am I dreaming?

Honestly, most of my MOCs are rated between 2 and 3, and frankly I don't care. I've had a number of relatively rude comments from annonymous posters, but I've come to accept that this is simply part of posting one's MOC on MOC pages. There are alot of nasty posters out there who feel empowered when they leave an insult. It is pretty easy to put somebody down from behind a computer screen.

Personally, I wouldn't put too much stock into the reviews over there if I were you. They really don't mean too much. I simply like the option of leaving positive feedback where I can. It's not a perfect setup, but it works.

Now he says that he likes the wings. :? If you wanted to get back at him, you could always say something about his Star Wars creations, that I know are there, without looking at his profile.

I thought you had to be 13 to sign up? You need to be 13 for an e-mail address, so there is nothing stoping them from saying they are 13.

maybe that's the way i should go:
