if you are talking about making an account here, i dont think there is a age restriction, i myself only turned 18 a few weeks ago

There is any requirement about register or make an account here?
So far i know there is no requirement to make an account here

No, there is not. I'm actually surprised that people actually want to input their real date of birth when registering. You can input anything you want (including this forum and other websites). This forum doesn't even have email verification. In other words, you can register without any (real) information about yourself.

Does Bitcointalk.org have a list of terms & conditions of use?

I would think that it does not. If you click on register, you get to a page where you input information. A ToS is usually located prior to that page.
Aside from the list of rules in the Meta section, there isn't really anything else.

Another good reason to switch to btc: no restrictions in comparison to using banks

unless you want to buy btc with a bank card or the other way around, but i do agree

[actmyname]

There should be no problem if a minor dabbles with Bitcoin unless there's the participation in, let's say, a gambling site.

[Quickseller]

You are not even asked for your birthday when you register....

The only information you are asked is your (new) username, your email address, your password, and the captcha...

[jacee]

Age doesn't matter here. A minor could have his/her own money and spend anywhere he/she wants to, same as with bitcoins. Also a minor has already a facebook acoount. What makes you think this forum will restrict someone or a minor?  This is not some kind of adult site  :D

You should bring them here. They will get a lot of knowledge.

[subSTRATA]

on the internet, you can be 420 years old for all i care. why is this actually being asked

[hilariousandco]

Yes a minor can sign up but I wouldn't bother telling your friends to sign up if your intention is to just get them to post crap for signature payouts like you are doing because you'll likely all be banned if you continue to post rubbish. Just about had it with Yobit and their spammers and it gets worse every day.

"In a statement, Jose Calzadias, commercial manager at TAR, said that the company, which serves 12 destinations throughout Mexico, would continue to evaluate payment options that give "real added value" to customers."

apparently there is another Latvian airline that started accepting bitcoin from July last year.

what do you think the effect of this is on bitcoin?

I mean what the hell is this post doing here? Clearly an alt of yours,

I think this is a post that some of us might classify as "off topic" and/or "useless"

[hilariousandco]

Off topic or useless can probably describe most of sanjx's and op's posts along with most others on yobit and secondstrade and he's now wanting more kids he knows to do the same and that's why something needs to be done about these campaigns. When they realise they can get paid to post crap why not tell your friends or open multiple accounts to do the same every day?

I somewhat get the feeling that the demographic of most shit-posters is young adults who live in countries that have a lowish standard of living.

I don't think very many 15 year olds (or 12 year olds, or whatever year olds) would have very much use for the money they could earn from shit posting on signature deals. I would speculate that most miners that post here would probably have more of a genuine interest in Bitcoin, and would have some level of technical expertise.

Do you think there are a lot of underage gambling addicts out there? Besides Candystripes, I am not aware of any, and I believe there is a good chance that Candy is no longer underage.

A lot if not most of them on yobit and secondstrade seem to be from Indonesia or the Philippines. I'm not sure what their level of interest in Bitcoin is or if it's just to earn a bit of cash but they shouldn't be shitposting to get it either way. One thing I've noticed a lot from the Indonesian users is they tend to claim to be female in the profiles as well.

i wouldnt necessarily say "a lot" but underage gambling is a thing, like it or not. take the csgo skin betting thing for example: http://wccftech.com/problem-underage-gambling-csgo-rise/
i see stories on reddit pop up from time to time about how some teenager lost thousands (here's a recent one: https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/3nmtrs/17_spent_and_lost_over_3000_for_betting/?ref=search_posts) on betting skins. given that younger people are getting more involved and keeping up to date with technology, I wouldnt put it outside the realm of possibility to say that there are minors on this forum who have picked up on bitcoin and have discovered that gambling with bitcoin is incredibly easy. also, the general level of maturity and displays narrow minded thinking on this forum makes me think there are numerous minors shitposting on here.

Well my understanding is that both Indonesia and the Philippines have a lower standard of living then both the US and the UK (and most of europe), so in this regard my statement would hold true.

I am not sure how claiming to be female plays into things, it could be related to a trend of them attempting to scam, and it could also be another demographic issue in that in some parts of the world females have less access to education (I am unsure about those countries specifically).

Interesting. I was not aware that CSGO skins could be used to gamble. Although I have the feeling that users are not spending their signature campaign BTC to gamble, although I could be wrong. This is somewhat evidenced by the lack of loan requests in the lending section of advances of their signature campaign earnings.

[minifrij]

One thing I've noticed a lot from the Indonesian users is they tend to claim to be female in the profiles as well.

I think that this may be due to the idea that females get more attention on the internet than males, maybe hoping that they would receive tips from other forum users because they are female.

I wouldn't be too sure, back when I used to gamble a decent amount of it came from my signature campaign earnings. It wouldn't surprise me at all if signature campaign earnings were used to gamble. Whilst you said, I couldn't see it being extremely likely that a minor would do this, but there are obviously exceptions.

Also, this seems the best place to ask for now, do you see my posts as low quality? I've seen a lot of posts complaining about low quality signature campaign spammers, I would like to know if I was in this bracket.

Exactly and even a few dollars they can earn from signature campaigns will be quite significant to them. It's quite evident that some of them will take anything they can get because there's countless users with clear alts who just post in daily giveaway threads one after the other day after day and of course with a yobit or secondstrade signature.

Possibly. That's certainly the reason most people claim to be female for the freebies or attention they're more likely to get.

Maybe the "lots of people" are just one or few with lots of alts?

And I don't know about secondstrade, but yobit bans people that only post crappy posts, even if they are slow sometimes.

Definitely not. The people who ruin signature campaigns for us all are the people who consistently post in threads like "Did you earn some bitcoin today?". If you are self conscious about if your posts are HQ or not, they probably are at least decent.

Signature campaign don't really pays you money for shitty posts unless you are in a bot operated signature campaign, that would be possible. Manually ones are much better when detecting spams. I've turned 15 a month ago and I feel that what I can earn from signature campaign is quite useful. I don't post solely for the money but it is more for gaining knowledge about Bitcoin. The money from signature campaign is a huge plus and can help to fund my VPS that I use for hosting and sometimes, I can even spend it in real life.

Anyway, OP, don't worry about age issue, I registered here when I was 13 and I didn't meet any issue. The only issue is if you use a gambling site as many of the locations in the world do not allow minors to gamble.

Those are just a small selection of users on yobit and he is slow to react or doesn't at all. I've contacted him several times about shitposters on his campaign but even if they do get kicked off they just move to secondtrade until they're a Full Member then on to one of the higher paying campaigns and if none of them accept them they sign up with bitmixer who have automatic sign ups. Yobit hasn't even responded to my last messages either but it's not enough to just kick people off two weeks after they get told about them. They wouldn't even know about problem users or care about the quality of posts they're making if someone didn't tell them about them and countless new shitposters are signing up daily. They shouldn't be accepting or paying these users at all and nothing is going to change without some involvement from them to actually start managing the campaign which they clearly are not interested in doing.
