Should I kick out kids from my clan? Is it fair?

I run a clan and it is relatively new. A few kids have joined as well. Ideally, I would like all adults in my clan. Or atleast 15+. But that doesn't always happen. It's a game and a lot of kids play it. I am in a doubt now. Should I kick out these kids or keep them?

Here is why I don't kick out kids from my clan:
1. It's just a game and there is no reason to kick out anyone because there is nothing objectionable or offensive going on. Our chats are clean as well.

2. It is difficult to keep track of everyone's age. People can just lie about their age to get into adults only clan.

3. Kicking out kids is discrimination on the basis of age. It will be unfair on them. Our clan believes in performance (stars in wars) and not age. So, I don't kick out anyone.

I am a responsible citizen and I think people (even kids) are safe in my clan under my supervision.

But, I would prefer 15+ people in my clan.

How do I do it without hurting the kids in my clan who are regularly playing and getting many stars in wars! I wonder.

IMO age doesn't matter as long as they are well behaved.

To me the question is..... Are they good clan Mates? Do they donate, participate in chat, score well in clan wars? Keep kid drama to the minimum? If so , keep them.... I've had a lot of adults that couldn't do this..... Plus when I can't figure out how to work my Phone they all know how...

It all depends on their behaviour. I'm the same age as most of the "young" clashes but I don't get kicked.

It is your clan do what you want. You are an adult and it is ok to clash with younger people. You shouldn't accept them if you want adult language in your clan. If you want just a mature/ well behaved clan then take whoever in. Some kids are immature and or annoying with spam and comments. It is ok to boot them then. They will annoy others.

I agree with other, age doesn't matter. What matter is if they're active, if they're donating, if they attack in war and if they're friendly.

I have been the leader of a clan for over a year now. We are a mix of teens and adults. The kids for the most part are active and fun. If they start to cause problems then kick, but I think it is a bad idea to kick them just because they are young.

You're overthinking it. Here's why I don't allow kids in my clan: we have different priorities, different goals, different perspectives, different experiences, and different abilities. Many kids play Clash as just another minor diversion. They have plenty of free time and many opportunities to play games with their friends. For many adults, Clash may be one of their only minor diversions. Most adults have work, family, home maintenance, auto maintenance, church, charity, and hundreds more responsibilities and demands on their time. As such, most adults have a different view of what game playing time means and who they want to spend it with.

And let's face it - kids aren't your peers. Unless you're really young, it'd probably be pretty creepy if you were hanging out down at the skate park or basketball court with a bunch of adolescents every day. In my view, playing an online game every day with them on your team isn't far removed. I know I wouldn't want my children on a team and communicating online with unknown adults.

I say keep them. My clan is mainly adults but I know we have 14 year olds there. And you would never know they were 14.
As long as they're well behaved and don't beg for elder/co - usually a good sign that they're kids from what I've seen.
I see no reason to let them go.
If you know your chat is gonna constantly be x-rated then yeah you may need to re-think your decision.

Good luck with what you decide!
