Cross-Chat (Safe Chat)

[Andrew]

This chat I understand is for children under the age of 14. But why do they make us use it? If you want to talk to someone with cross-chat, you have to turn yours on if you are above 14. It really stinks, you can barely say anything, cant even type numbers, which again, I understand. But why do they make us use it??? If we have open chat, I think we should be able to talk to people with safe Chat without having to turn ours on, what do you guys think?
