the user was back in 18+ with another minor just now

I don’t know why you’d want to help a minor stay in an 18+ channel; removing them won’t hurt them at all. Is your idea of being a ‘protector of people’ really about defending minors’ right to be in 18+ spaces?

I’m saying minors shouldn’t be in 18+, not really for their safety, but because it makes adults feel weird. like, anything they say or share might suddenly look wrong. imagine someone just says they’re 16 and walks into an adult changing room, the whole mood drops, people stop talking, not cause they did something bad, but cause no one wants to risk it.

even if I block that minor, it doesn’t fix it. I can still see other adults chatting with them, and I know it’s happening. some adults don’t even care it’s a minor, they just keep going like nothing’s wrong, and it makes everything awkward.

Just now. He even had age (16) in nickname
