Q: I recently asked a question about teen books with sex in them. You deleted my question because you said I was only 13. This is horrible because:
1. I'm not 13
2. You were very rude to me
3. I actully came here to get advice for me and my very close friend, which this did not help the situation at all because now she's more upset than ever and NEEDS ADVICE.
Let me tell you, I personally will NEVER use this site again.
Here is my question: http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=448991
Hello there,

As you have promised to no longer use the site, I don't know if I am wasting my time here or not... I hope not.

You should understand that we have a team of moderators here. Blaming me for a rude deletion message is kinda like blaming a CEO for one of the company's people being snotty to you... and then deleting your own question again, makes it so I can't tell who did it.

So you have blamed the CEO and will not tell him who was rude to you. Not very helpful. ;-)

As for your situation, the account states:

"Age:
13"

The BIO states:

"HEY!!! My nam is Ringo. Ok, not my real name but oh well... I'm 13 years old and live in Minneapolis, Minnesota."

Now, how could you expect a moderator to not take action when it looks like a 13 year old girl trying to find juicy sex books?

Why didn't they take: "I am 42/f and..." seriously? Two reasons:

1.) We see it all the time that someone will pretend to be a different age to get answers to sex questions.

2.) Sharing an account is a reason for that account to be deleted, so people don't typically do that.

If you can be calm about this, and drop the accusation of deliberate intent to disturb, you are welcome to stay, and I will put your question through again.

If you wish to continue to violate the rules (account sharing) and blame me for enforcing a rule even when I didn't know who you even were until you wrote this, then I don't think we can work together.

I hope you will be reasonable about this, since we could certainly use someone of your age to help answer the youngsters questions. (After starting your own account, of course.)

Thank you,

DN.

THank you for being so kind. I had no idea that you couldn't share an account, I share with my daughter hence the bio. I will certainly think about starting my own account. Please don't delete it in the meantime, my daughter is mad enough already. Thanks.

This advice column is for suggestions, comments, or error reporting about advicenators. If you'd like to suggest a new category, ask me a question. If you'd like to whine, bitch, or complain about advicenators, you may whine, bitch, or complain to me.

Three rules though:
1) Do not ask me for life advice. We have several thousand other members that do that.

2) Do not ask for help, or ask how to do something, or ask about
how something on the site works, unless you've read every word of our help pages and you're sure it's not addressed there.

3) Do not ask me to ban someone or investigate abuse. We have an entire abuse system set up for that.

If you disobey one of these rules, I'll delete your question.

Some guidelines about suggestions:
If you offer a suggestion that I find interesting, I might just ignore your question so it stays in my inbox as a reminder of something to do. Don't be upset that I don't answer you, and don't delete your questions (because then I'll forget!)

If you have three suggestions, please ask three separate questions, that way I can address each one individually. It's a real pain when people ask one question with like twenty different topics in it; I can't keep them straight.
