Confused about new vent rules

[cammo]

So let me get this straight if u are under the age of 18 you cannot go in to a Rated R room? Because that doesnt sound right...

If you are under 18, can you go into an R-Rated movie? (Assume that they check you)

Jay's got it right.

Welcome to Edge Gamers Organization!
=============================================
There has been a lot of talk recently about the "R" rated rooms on Ventrilo. Although rules on Ventrilo have been traditionally more lax, recent issues require us to clarify our stance.

General Ventrilo Etiquette

* Unless otherwise specified, rooms in Ventrilo are to be considered PG-13. In other words, eGO server rules apply in unmarked rooms.
* Be nice to your fellow members. Friendly conversation is expected; heated arguments will be dealt with swiftly.


"R" Rated Rooms

* "R" rated rooms do not mean that "X" rated content is allowed.
* No excessive swearing. This means that you are not allowed to drop your favorite flavor of the "F" bomb every 2 minutes.
* No racist, sexist, or other demeaning language. This should be obvious and no slack will be given to offenders.
* Minors are expected to avoid these rooms.


This policy is not open for debate.

Do your part to be mature enough to at least respect the rules leadership gives us.

Why doesn't that sound right? The only thing I see that could be changed would be to make it 17+ since that's the age you need to be to see an R-Rated movie. It wouldn't be Rated R if everyone could go in it. That would defeat the purpose.

The rules are clearly stated. Rated R rooms are not intended for 14 year olds.


They're also not intended for 15 year olds, 16 year olds, 17 year olds, ferrets, or my mother.

Seriously, folks, why is there an issue understanding what a minor is? A minor is anyone who has not yet reached their 18th birthday. If you need your parent's signature to legally join the Army, get married, get a credit card, or rent an apartment, and are UNDER the age of 18 - you are a minor, and are expected to avoid Ventrilo channels that are labeled "Rated R".
