| Q: Why does it tell me I'm ineligible? If you are getting a message that says “Based on the information you have supplied, you are ineligible to create a Wetpaint account” then it means you entered a date of birth that would make you ineligible to join Wetpaint. This precaution helps to prevent children under the age of 13 from registering for Wetpaint. Children under 13 are not allowed to join Wetpaint due to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) laws, which we must comply with. If you say you are underage we temporarily block additional attempts by dropping a cookie in your browser. This helps prevent kids under 13 from trying again and again until they can create an account. |
| Q: Can I change my username? No, but you can create a new account. Just keep in mind that each Wetpaint account has to have a unique email address associated to it. If you want to ditch your old account and use your favorite email address on a new account, then go to your profile and change your email address. Once you've changed the email address on your old account you can use it on a new Wetpaint account. |
