Edgy 12-Year-Old

What would you say is the minimum age to be taken seriously (on this website)? I'm asking because I'm a four-year-old cunningly hidden beneath a layer of complex punctuation—\:;()₩§&@‰

We take every member on this site seriously. We don't discriminate. <3!

Age really doesn't have an impact. The words that spew forth from your mouth and your mannerisms affect my opinion of you. Not implying I have one.

The general rule of thumb is to not mention your age, and act mature.

As a rule of thumb, I don't take anyone seriously until they show me they are:
1. Worthy of respect.
2. A decent human being.
3. Mature in mindset, disregarding age altogether.

That said, it's not actually that difficult to display any of those three things, just follow this three step program;
1. Don't be a diva
2. Don't be an ass
3. Don't write like a chump

Hmm, pretty much what the others have said, in so many words. Since most people don't (and shouldn't, if they're under 18) reveal their age online, it isn't usually used as a measure of competence or maturity. Besides, I know people my own age who I would put far less trust/faith in than a clever and reasonable nine-year-old. \(=_=)/ Behavior really is the deciding factor.

A "dick" way of answering your question would be; if you think your age is why people are not taking you seriously, you're probably not mature yet.
