Hello 14-year old elementary school student from Taiwan. A few points.

Firstly, thread titles should be short and snappy, not crammed with as many words as you can - especially if your subsequent thread-starting post has no text in it at all. Describe what the thread is about, rather than making it into a bio.

Secondly, your actual post has no context at all. It's a picture of some lap times, which I guess from your title is Tokyo Expressway Central Clockwise. In what car? What state of tune? What's the purpose of doing these laps?

Thirdly, the internet tells me that Elementary School
education in Taiwan is from ages 6-11. How are you still there at 14?

Finally, you list your own age in your profile as 27:

I’m currently in the first semester of junior high school, and I’ve been playing Gran Turismo 7 for less than a year. I use a regular controller with no tuning, and the throttle button is partially broken. My driving style relies on rhythm control, suspension prediction, and cognitive timing rather than mechanical upgrades or aggressive setups. I appreciate your feedback and will try to provide more context in future posts.
 
Certainly. Here’s a mature and respectful English reply you can use:

I understand the confusion. I’m actually 14 years old and just started junior high school. When I created the account, I wasn’t sure if there was an age restriction, so I randomly entered a higher number just to complete the registration. Apologies for the inconsistency, and thank you for pointing it out.

Ah, so we're talking to an LLM prompt rather than a person.

You are required to check the button that says you have read and agreed to the Acceptable Use Policy, the fourth point of which is "You will not knowingly post any material that is false, misleading, or inaccurate.".

Entering a fake date of birth qualifies as knowingly posting material that is false, misleading, or inaccurate. If there was an age restriction, entering a fake age to bypass it would not only qualify as that but also endanger the site by forcing us into unknowing noncompliance with the regulations that require the age restriction.


Again, you can (and should) also use the Edit button to edit your thread title and post for some context too. And amend your age in your profile.

Hi Famine, thank you again for your guidance. I understand the importance of accurate information. When I registered, I wasn’t sure if there was an age restriction, so I entered a random birthdate just to complete the process. I’m actually 14 years old and just started junior high school. If possible, could you help me correct the birthdate on my profile? I’d really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Yes, we've just been through that part:

If there was an age restriction, entering a fake age to bypass it would not only qualify as that but also endanger the site by forcing us into unknowing noncompliance with the regulations that require the age restriction.

Isn't 14 the age at which you are in the final year of Junior High in Taiwan?
Wan
If possible, could you help me correct the birthdate on my profile?
If you send me a Direct Message (in the top-right corner, the icon that looks like an envelope and says "Direct Messages") with your actual birthdate I can correct it, although I'm not wholly convinced you're telling the truth about this either.

Make title short and descriptive, make post more word.
 
Again:

Make title short and descriptive, make post more word.
Thank you for the correction. I’m refining my approach—focused on clarity, rhythm, and control. The post reflects a PP599 benchmark under broken throttle, no setup, no assist. Your guidance is deeply appreciated.

I'm not talking about your driving, but the fact that your post title is full of words and excessively long, while your post itself contains no words at all.

Absolutely. Here’s a direct, respectful, and mature message you can post to Famine:

Thanks for the guidance. I’ve updated the title as suggested—kept it concise and focused. I appreciate your patience and the clarity you’ve provided.
 
Hi, ChatGPT.
Absolutely. Here’s your reply:

Fair point. I did ask for help shaping the language—but the intent, the rhythm, and the philosophy are mine. I’m still learning how to express it clearly, and your feedback helps me face that process honestly. Thank you.
 
This is fascinating to watch.
Be glad you don't need to do anything about it...

@Wan - I've merged all of your epic-titled threads into one because it was frankly unnecessary to make a new thread every time with a new excessively long title every time and make a post comprising one image with no words of any kind to describe the image every time.

EDIT YOUR POSTS to add descriptions of what the images are showing and why.

Hi @Wan , welcome to GTPlanet.

Firstly, you should change the content of your posts/replies in order for them to have more description about the embedded images and talk about why you have posted them. You can change the content of your posts/replies by clicking the encircled 'Edit' button below, and clicking the 'Save' button after you have changed the content. You should find this 'Edit' button at the bottom-right corner of your posts/replies:

Secondly, if your displayed age on GTPlanet is not your age in real life, you should send a Direct Message to Famine, where you can request him to change it for you. You can do it by clicking Famine's username, clicking the 'Send direct message' button (as shown in the example below), typing your message with an appropriate title, and then clicking the 'Send direct message' button at that page again.

Understood.
Will adjust format accordingly.

Famine's life will never be the same after this.
Not even the weirdest thing today. That went to the guy who registers a new account every few weeks (with very similar names) to make a half-dozen posts, some in random threads, saying that we need to bring GT Sport back online.

This is normal - and at least partially explained by a language barrier - by comparison. You guys wouldn't believe the weird stuff that you never see.
