Adult global chat filter

My proposed idea appears be not listed as I have performed a search.

My idea does not contain the following words: "Bank", "Market Place", "Donate Resources", "Vault", "Multiple Builders", "Search Filter", "Gem Mine", "Exchange"

My idea is pretty simple. I'd like to see some way of choosing/filtering global chat so that kids and adults can choose to separate from adult conversation or kids. For instance, select either a minor (kids) global chat, or an adult global chat.

I'm trying to eliminate the kids in global chat when attempting to search for adult members to join a new clan. It could be a lot of work for something seen so trivial, but it would separate the men from the boys, so to speak, and allow for us adults to experience a different type of game play instead of being called all the names under the sun, and bring some adults back to the game who have lost interest because of this issue.

Perhaps have a tick box in the settings to enable 'Adult Global chat'? I could be looking at this the wrong way, although my general idea is to have the option to split the kids from the adults, or not, for those that wish to play with kids.

I suppose some questions to consider would be:

1) How can we differentiate between kids and adults?
2) Where would this feature? Would it overrule the existing global chat and replace with an adult chat when chosen?
3) Would kids have the option to be able to access this chat?
4) Is this a lot of work for something that isn't necessarily top priority?
5) Would this introduce a new type of game play for the older game players?
6) Would this enhance the reputation of CoC?

Just a few things to consider I suspect.

Unfortunately, SC seems to feel that vast majority of children who occupy global are sufficient enough in allowing for its self moderation.

Although many adults play clash of clans as it is enjoyable for all ages it really is a kids game. Clash of clans is rated 9+ And is designed to be played by kids as it is simple to play the characters are colourful and cartoonish there is little violence and no blood. Im afraid your just going to have to deal with the kids like the rest of us.

Wow someone actually read the stickies. I applaud you sir.

I believe you have identified the key issue with your idea already, that is how do you reliably distinguish between kids and adults?

I really don't believe you could. For that reason, I don't believe this idea could work.

Actually, and quoting directly from SC's TOS;

You shall not create an Account or access the Service if you are under the age of 13; You shall restrict use by minors, and you will deny access to children under the age of 13. You accept full responsibility for any unauthorized use of the Service by minors. You are responsible for any use of your credit card or other payment instrument (e.g. paypal) by minors.

Also, I don't believe that SC targets children, with no real means to support the companies large income, as their main demographic.
