Can a teenager join TUSCL?

Why, yes, a teenager can join tuscl, very easily. It takes about 2 minutes, tops.
This is njscfan. I was thinking about the fact that Bobby -- who is a very, very frequent poster -- never submitted a review. He said he did not want to pay for a VIP membership. That struck me as a little odd. A VIP membership is ridiculously cheap. I'm not even sure I notice it on my credit card bill. Plus, you don't even have to pay money for it, you can just submit a review. (I know, I'm starting to sound like an ad for tuscl.)
But if you were 13 years old, you might not have a credit card. And you might be afraid to submit a review, for fear that you could not make it sound credible given that you've never been inside a strip club.
So I asked myself: how hard would it be for a random 13 year old to join tuscl?
The answer is: not hard at all. Hit the join now button. Make up a screen name. Type in your email address. And ta da! The password is sent to your email, and you can immediately start posting on the discussion board. That's exactly what I did, and here I am, but this time as "billyboy13."
I'm sure it's because I'm in my 40s that I didn't figure this out ages ago. I bet my middleschoolers would have figured this out in 2 seconds.
It does make you wonder about people who post incessantly on the board, but never manage to write even one review.
Personally, I think founder should take a small measure to insure that no kids are on this site. On some other adult oriented sites, you have to pay a very small $1 fee to join via credit card. It's just a way to limit access. Yes, I know some teens have credit cards (and some adults don't), but it strikes me as a sensible measure. After all, I don't want to wind up chatting about sexual topics with a little boy who is pretending to be a man.
Got something to say?
