There is, though it is hard to enforce.

(Crackle crunch)
Discrimination due to advanced age is one of the great tragedies of modern life. The desire to engage in hobbies such as playing chess is what makes life worth living, and to be told you aren’t welcome on chess.com because you are the wrong age is a crime. When I was a young tortoise, barely fifty years old, we respected those who have been living for several centuries before us. Now that I am 135, I find the open disrespect for quad-centurions to be horribly distasteful.

Technically there is no age limit, you are supposed to be over 18 to make an account, but parents and guardians are allowed to make accounts for minors.

I introduced chess to Europe in 822, but I can still beat most of you young whipper-snappers at blitz.
Bump.

Maybe chess.com should put a limit on stupid questions in the forums.

Maybe they should put a limit on rude responses.
Oh wait, they already did that.
Buzz off.

The forums would die. Stupidity is the human condition since the dawn of civilization.

True.

I guess you mean a minimum age.
Yes, that was the intent.

I don't know much about since the dawn of civilization, but I can vouch for since the dawn of chess.com.

Even if there should be, it's pretty much unenforceable.

Stupidity is relative. Even though humans are stupid, kids are annoyingly so. Kill the forums as we know them wouldn't be bad. Unfortunately the forums don't make Erik money, so he couldn't care less whether they're garbage.
Don't use fallacies.
Not all kids are annoyingly stupid.

I bet I could divide people into kid or adult groups pretty reliably.
Maybe not chronological age, but mental age... not so hard.
Ok, what am I?
Thanks.
Most people actually believe me to be in my late twenties, although in real life I often act like I am five.
That is a very good assessment.

It’s not a stupid question cause I was still new to the website when I asked and wasn’t aware there already was one in place. Please don’t judge books by their covers.
Should there be an age limit on chess.com?
