Which they can do on new accounts, like many people have been doing and without any issues. If a user keeps breaking the rules, they should expect punishment which can mean losing their original account.Quote:

Mature or not, rules are rules. Any thirteen or fourteen year old should be perfectly aware of the rules.Quote:

I think this idea is ok, although in a way it seems like members are being rewarded for 'breaking' forum rules in the first place?
Well, not really. If someone uses a second account to break rules then it's noted and they wouldn't get their account merged however a lot of people have used different accounts in the past and come back on new ones.Quote:

Swearing is hardly an indication of maturity. On the contrary, I'd say it's exactly the opposite :).Quote:
