the chat age verification is a bad idea that needs more thought

I understand why it was done, to protect kids but with what you have done now kids are unable to talk to their friends when playing, friends that they might not be able to see in person.

I have seen a few people say that they are now unable to do admin on their own severs because of this, meaning that if someone needed to be banned the admin can't do anything about it.

in my own experience as someone whose only online game they feel comfortable to play is minecraft, I now feel isolated, I wanted to get better at taking to others but now I can't, on one sever I am now stuck at spawn as I can't use commands to tp anywhere and I can't ask a admin to help because I can't use chat.

in sort, everyone is feeling isolated, people can't control their own severs and people who can't talk or don't have anyone to talk to are now forced to stay quiet.
