I've seen another application (xAranx) who has been let in and he's 16.

As he stated, if the application rule thing is due to immaturity, then I'm quite I can assure you I'm not immature.
I've got a few friends in this clan who can (hopefully) vouch for me in saying I'm a good, team player.

As useless as the following words may be, I can assure you, I've seen plenty of 20+ year olds who have been far more immature than me - maturity is part of my job, so hence, that carries on into 'real life' and further more, onto my gaming profiles.

Hi Nitro,

There is a significant difference between recruiting and vouching for somebody - BlackBlaze is a good friend whom I reguarly do mixes with on an evening and weekends; he's been in AoP for quite some time from what I remember, and hence, lead me to applying to AoP - it's good fun to play mixes with BlackBlaze, and other AoP members whom take part.

It is not my fault that by playing with BlackBlaze and other AoP members that I decided to apply.

I would like you to reconsider your post, I was not recruited, BlackBlaze did not say "please join AoP" or infact anything along those lines.
I asked for the forum link, and it was infact, another member of AoP that gave me it.

Either way, if my application is declined or accepted, I will continue to play mixes with the people I currently do.

The answer was no im afraid.

Blaze, you know the rules mate, 18+ and Poon has already posted that (see members forums thread? there have been plenty of posts relevant to this topic).

I'm sure if Andrew is that interested he'll still be here when he is 18, at which point he can reapply.

These members should probably have pointed out there is an 18+ policy.

This is far too try hard. Just reapply when you're 18 and I think we'll ignore this reply : P

Also, read the sticky in the Join AoP forum. Thats another chance to see the policy.

The or is quite significant there.

Hi Revolver,

Thank you for your reply.

I don't mind waiting - I can continue to mix with the people whom I already do without worrying about being too 'young', although it does seem quite stupid and rather idiotic to tell me that under 18's or immature people cannot join.

From what I can see, people have some rather near-pornographic avatars (which seems quite immature in my eyes); and yet I'm not allowed to join due to my age - there are people younger than me in the clan, and possibly more immature than me (which is in breach of both of your so-called policies) - you also "bent the rules" to allow a 16 year old into the clan, all because he had a friend in here - I have a few friends in AoP, surely you can "bend the rules" for me and make me the clan's leader?

I realize that you, and others that have read this topic, are taking my words as if they did not exist - but again, perhaps that "no under 18's" 'policy' should be changed - age is never a reason to discriminate who can, and cannot join - what happens when a 30 year old decides to act really immature? Do you intend on making a new "no under 30's" 'policy'?

I've never really understood the reason to stop people under a certain age from joining a clan.

Would you care to explain? I would love to hear why this clan in particular, has chosen to restrict who can and cannot join based on age.

For the record, I'm not bothered about being declined from joining, I'm just interested in learning about the reasons behind what seems to be, a stupid policy.
