I have recieved a couple of notes from bolt staff on this. The think they can reserve the right to have an age limit but its wrong. here are the notes that were sent. paLmtreeundOne 21/F/US Nov 07 2004 11:18AM Unfortunately, members over the age of 28 cannot receive any feature badges on Bolt. Apologies. paLmtreeundOne boltstaff paLmtreeundOne Subject: RE: RE: RE: hey paLmtreeundOne 21/F/US Nov 07 2004 04:40PM This site is geared toward members 15-24, so if feature badges require pictures of the member they have to be between that age bracket. Feature badges that so not include pictures of the member are only for members 13-28. Bolt is not geared toward people out of that age bracket. As a private company we reserve the right to only feature members of a certain age. paLmtreeundOne boltstaff Do they even care that this is discrimination Its wrong. I would like for everyone to sign this so we can stop bolt from discriminating against age. against the older people of bolt. especially the ones that have been kind and gives out very good advice on subjects to the younger members of bolt. And for non members, you can sign too if you think this is not right at all. Thanks for your support on this matter.

This is honestly so petty. If people are contributing to the community they should be treated the same regardless of their age. Disappointing.

Not right. If you want a fun site you dont alienate your longtime members just cause they hit 30. Get over it bolt.

Are they serious? Some of the older members are the only reason I even log on here because they actually give decent advice. Really stupid policy.

TOTAL BS. Age is just a number who cares how old someone is if they are cool. Bolt needs to get a grip.
