Conditions for Use of the Forum

Your permission to use the forum is subject to the following conditions:

1. You must be at least thirteen years old.

2. You may no longer use the forum if the company contacts you directly to say that you may not.

3. You must use the forum in accordance with Acceptable Use and Content Standards.

The strict interpretation is permission-based, so anyone at least thirteen years old has permission to use the forum, therefore anyone before that threshold does not have permission to use the forum.

wow. that’s unexpected somewhat. i understand why these things happen but i still do not like it.

The strict interpretation is permission-based

But that’s not even checked… and surely not enforced, right?

Moreover: that reading the forums do not require any login…

So what’s the point of the question in the first place?

I had to reassure my mom.

When starting a Communiteq Discourse instance, this is the generic boilerplate generated, so the Qubes OS team has not adjust this specific phrasing since. Whether it is enforced or not is outside of my ability to authoritatively answer.
