Open Chat vs. Speedchat Plus

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Ok, well I was just thinking about why POTCO has the two chat options... and I really dont understand it. Why is it that someone who is below the age of thirteen cannot type words that are not in POTCO (very limited) dictionary? Why is it that someone who is 11 cannot type the word "bit" but a 14 year old can? I really don't see POTCO's reasoning for this. If it is to make it so that "kids cant be abducted" or something crazy like that, lemme say this. A 15 year old, who has open chat and can type numbers and all, is just as open to harmful people as an 11 year old. It just doesn't make sense to me why POTCO limits people under 13 to a dictionary. There just seems to be no logic in it for me.

Also, the Speedchat option (the one where you can ONLY choose words from you list) I believe can be hard for the game, and should maybe be removed, unless the child is 4 or something, in which case they probably shouldn't be playing a game like this. I was leveling Lyze once, and someone who was a couple levels higher than me started attacking my kills. I told him to please stop, and the ? came above his head, saying he was Speedchat. I tried to use phrases from the Speedchat list, but none said anything like "Find yer own kill!". He kept following me, so in the end I pretended to go AFK, and he left. Still, it is hard...

Anyway, I know many of you will disagree, but could someone please explain the logic to me of why people below 13 should be limited to POTCO's dictionary?
