RE: Introducing Myself..... A new adventure on steemit!
I'm extremely sorry to tell you this, Matthew, but unfortunately due to the federal laws in the US we aren't legally allowed to provide you service until you're 13. It's called COPPA if you want to google it to learn more.
Sadly we will have to ban your username ASAP (within the next day or two) for violation of our Terms of Service - I don't like it any more than you do. Please make sure you email me at [email protected] on your next birthday and I will see to it that your ban is reversed. We want to have you here, but we can't break any laws to do so.
I apologize for this; US federal laws don't give us any other options here.
Best,
Jeffrey Paul
PS: Be careful on other sites - they are subject to the same laws and will likely ban you if they find out you're under 13.
I am so sorry! I didn't know that you had to be a certain age to join Steemit. I did not want to break any rules and fully understand. I will not post on Steemit until my birthday on 2nd August and will build my posts off-line until then.
Again I apologise for this misunderstanding and the need for you to message me.
Matthew
