In the blue box, it would be nice to have a notice saying “It is required that you need to be over 13 years old to join.” or something because most kids probably don’t read the rules.
They can’t really list all terms of servive in the blue box and it would just clutter it. You always have to agree to ToS when joining a platform and you can’t say “oh, i didn’t know that’s not allowed”. Also the following part of The Hive’s ToS should be clear enough in my opinion.
This Service is offered and made available only to users meeting the minimum legal age to provide their own consent to data processing, collection, and use (e.g., at least 13 years of age in the US and at least 13 to 16 years of age in the EU, depending on the country). If you do not meet the minimum legal age, please discontinue using the Service immediately, or if for any reason, you do not agree with all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, please discontinue using the Service immediately. By using or attempting to use the Service, you certify that you are at least the minimum age and meet any other eligibility requirements of the Service. If you are found to be under the minimum age, your account may be terminated without notice.
I think what Hudson is saying is that most people especially those who might be underage won’t read Hive’s ToS fully so he is is suggesting that they include being 13+ in the blue box not the whole statement. Therefore the blue box wouldn’t become cluttered.
You must be 13 years or older to join the forums on an account. Find additional information here (Hive Tos)
The Hive’s Tos is clear but some people won’t read it fully.
