The plugin looks great and has great features but that problem really needs to get solved as in most cases the email is also the login userID!!!

At a minimum, I think I need to add a check box to the registration page that asks if you are 12 or under and a link to the privacy policy of the site that clearly spells out how information about child users is used by the site. Additionally, posts by users that are children should not be personally identifiable (eg. WordPress should change their comments to say “posted by a young fan” or something).
A little more advanced usage would be to collect the parent’s email address to ask for permission to create the user account and/or send marketing info (upcoming concerts, new album, etc.) to their kids. If my friend wants to rent his marketing database, it would be nice to be able to easily remove the child users from that list.
Any thoughts?
If not, then I’m going to need some help writing my first WordPress plug-in.

The system needs to prescreen subscribers and those under 13 can not have persional information stored in the database. Its ok to mail them a password but we can not store any persional information about them, including the email address.

I have modified my signup screens in my copy to send minors to another screen telling them they can not subscribe but this is only a work arround.
We need a special minor subscription level built in the software that way minors can make post but we will not have any persional info on them..
