'Tis against some funky act in America at least to take part in a forum if you are under 13 and dont have your parents written consent.

Poo, i'm thirteen in two weeks! :grumpy:

EDIT: Thank you to the very kind moderator of automotiveforums.com, I will try to be a productive member of you site and will apply to all of your rules and regulations, much more there than I have here :dopey:

Hello!

I'm an old GT3/4 player, an old member of GTBN (Who we all know has the fastest GT4 drivers on it), And, more importantly, right now I'm also a Moderator at Automotiveforums.com Not just any mod either.

I find this whole thing rather embarrassing.
So my apologies to everyone at GTP for what has happened, I'm not total sure myself, but I think it comes down to a huge misunderstanding of a new rule, and a misreading of BluBowl/MatttheTuner's post. We have a massive spam problem, and in a fit of delusion someone thought it was spam. Clearly they have no idea what GTP is, and have never played GT. I'll make sure that is corrected. In fact Iv just left a big rant about how wonderful a community all the different Gran Turismo forums make, and wished the Automotive forums of the world could be the same.

BluBowls user name has been re-instated, and he should be getting a PM from a mod to sort things out.
He will have to remove the link in his sig, its unfortunately one of our ways of controlling the spam.
And, unfortunately if he's under 13 his account will most likely be banned again. But that's a rule we have had in place since day one, and has more to do with the lack of under 13s who actually have a gainful knowledge or passion of cars, and can handle the sometimes in depth and technical discussions we like to think we get into.


Cazzogrande Thank you for bringing this to our attention, several of us saw your thread and moved it into our little secret forum to talk about it, and so I could knock some heads together.


Again my apologies, AF really is a wonderful place, and we aren't mean and nasty either.
After this I think I might have to dig out the PS2 and run a few laps of the ring to relax.

Now THAT was the professional way to handle this misunderstanding. Your reply, public apology, and the way you handled everything just helped you gain a lot of respect. 👍
 
Thats what I plan to do , I would accept a two week ban for this.
 
Or you could tell them you're 13 in two weeks, and ask is that close enough to the 13 limit or not.
 
I never give out my real birthdate, my mother has programmed me to do so. Ecept for here, were I am one with the forum.
