18+ cooperatives USELESS???
Mr. Farmer (AU1)

I mean, Big Farm is for everyone, and children are also allowed to play, but registering needs someone 16+.
Suppose there are only-adult cooperatives, where do children go, to get the chance that adult players get for joining a cooperative?
However, they cannot force you to reveal your age, by protection of the GDPR law, if you don't want to. So it's wasting of time typing only adult...
I hope you can answer my question, and hopefully not saying the last one.
Comments
Mostly of those "every type of players" accepted cooperatives (very common in my server) are very low, and are bad in events.
I understand your problem about impersonating as children, but notice, that some child accounts, have parental supervision, and mostly of the parents recognize that, and they report the player to Big Farm Community, or tell their kids to ignore them/block them.
But still, it's useless, how can staff of the cooperative detect if (s)he's a child? If children are smart enough they can keep reject by saying "I don't reveal personal information, I'm protected by the GDPR law.".
However, thank you for your answer and opinion.
Also tbh I wouldn´t bother my mind about it, people are different minded. Not neccessarily making any bad people. I´d just move on and find a co-op more to my liking.
@ Mr. Farmer (AU1) Could be more likely that your list of points describe the members of an "adults only" behavior at the co-op
Cheers
Kids will be kids and sometimes grownups just want to hang with grownups. Doesn't mean they're anti kids, but some coops like being able to have grownup conversations, for example -- grown up, not X-rated as your comments imply. Our coop doesn't have a policy of no kids, but you do have to be a certain level to join. And, as others have pointed out, there are tons of coops who accept kids. I would say adult-only cooperatives probably are in the minority.
Our Coop doesnt have a 18+ policy , and we're overall #2-#3 in most events
We have young ones on the team , They are fine
Respect is an important aspect in the cooperative and will always be
its not because you are young that you will have a bad behavior, I like to give opportunities
We also accept players as low as level 50 in the coop
@ Mr. Farmer (AU1)
its probably a little bit of all your guesses that makes it be like that
Every player in a game can form a coop, by paying a small amount in gold. After that, he/she is a leader of that coop and can freely accept members, deny members, kick out members, give or take the role of a deputy to members or give his leadership to another member.
Every coop than decides how they want to play. You have more relaxed coops and coops that want only players that play 24/7 and use large amounts of gold. Coop descriptions are there to help new players decide which coop suits them best. So if coop description says 18+, it simply means that they think that a younger player will not feel good in their coop. It does NOT mean that you are in any kind obliged to give them any proof of your age or reveal other personal data!!!
“Only adult” could be there for various reasons, like (a) coop has an “open chat” and members are allowed to use “bad words” that are not appropriate for kid ears (b) members are obliged to buy or donate certain amount of gold and "kids" usually do not have income to be able to do that (c) it is expected from members to quickly figure out how the game works as they are not willing to explain it over and over again.
If you find a description like that and are not sure why it is there, best thing is to write to the leader and ask him/her for explanation.
But in any way you DO have to be over 16+ to play the game at all (see Terms of Service).
Thank you all again for answering one of my discussion.

But I read others' opinion I changed my mind a little bit. So even if children reveal their ages, I hope the staff of cooperatives won't reject them only because they're child, but behaved normally and meet all requirements, because I still find that age-discrimination...

So, even if they try, they will get banned. What do you prefer, getting banned and the other got kicked by cooperative, or say nothing, and nothing will happen?
It is age discrimination if you want to get overly technical about it. But look at all the other coops that have restrictions: Christian coops -- religious discrimination? Women only -- sex discrimination? Seniors only or thirty-somethings -- age discrimination? Men only -- sex discrimination? I've seen coops for people who live in Florida or Ireland or Narnia -- geographical discrimination? Etc. If you're going to see one requirement as discrimination, then why not go after them all?
The game isn't discriminatory. Think of the coops as individual clubs who want to play as a group of people who share other similar interests so that chat and socializing aren't limited to just the game. Nothing more than wanting to share the experience with like-minded people. Those under 18 aren't banned from enjoying the game, just not necessarily invited to join an adults-only private club. And again, most coops don't exclude kids.
I think Wing summed it up best -- when coops state what the group is looking for, it gives the applicant a good idea of what to expect.
