Here's an idea: How about not arguing about whether or not age or sex or anything like that matters? The product is what it is and age does't change that. However, knowing the age of the person is invaluable to telling them how they can improve themselves. If you want to tell a person how to get to where they want to go, you need to know where they are. Most of the kids intelligent enough to find this community and build something on their own are probably much more interested in sincere and helpful feedback than upvotes. If anything, upvotes are just a tool for them to get more visibility and therefore a better chance of good feedback. I know that's how I felt when I was their age. I think this community would be a lot better off it we spent our energy giving useful feedback to those who ask us for it instead of bickering over non-issues like this.
