Star Wars: The Old Republic is pretty big to say the least. That said, it isn't all fun and games with BioWare as they are pretty adamant with upholding their Terms of Service.

According to the Terms of Service, nobody under 13 can have an account, and they managed to target down one user being underage, and subsequently permanently suspended his account. You’re probably wondering how they found out his age, and that’s the fun of the story.

The user whose name is withheld had made a post on the BioWare forums for The Old Republic, giving his identity away. The post said ‘I’m 12 and what is this.’

For those who aren't up in the grimy underworld of 4chan and memes, that phrase is a meme that originated when porn was uploaded to YouTube under the guise of children’s shows by 4chan users, thus exposing unknowing children to porn. One of the comments read ‘I’m 12 and what is this.’

BioWare are obviously a bit busy making games to be up on the internet jokes, but still, they should have known better.

Here’s hoping the suspension is revoked.
