So She has been banned for a year. We are actually suppose to block her forever and report her to Wikia but... I won't. Ah.. people who have no knowledge on how things work should ask before doing something stupid. You can block users for being underage but you are not forced to, nor are you forced to report them to Wikia. They are only blocked if you want them blocked. In other words, if you report underage users Wikia will block them but they themselves, Wikia, are not exactly searching for underage users to block. Wikia itself is bound by COPPA which prevents the use of accounts by individuals with less than 13 years. Now you can choose either to apply those rules here or not. You are not supposed to report her to anyone, you only do so if you so desire and you only block her if you want to block her. In other words, you can unblock her at any time. It is true it is a violation of the Terms of Use but she has done nothing wrong and I have seen many cases where admins let cases like these "pass". In my opinion, she should be unblocked.
