Yeesh. Underage dating is so weird to me. I used to be that 15 yr old, (but like @milkdaddy: I lied about my age), who "internet dated" 5+ yr age gaps. As a 22 yr old lady: I realize now that's fucked up, and some legit groomed me.

Even just talking, and having an emotional connection is gross & immoral if you call it dating, as that's implying romamce, and kissing etc. imagery. I believe children (I'm of the mindset that 17 and below are def children, and I see 18 & 19 as kids still hell I still see myself as a child sometimes) and adults can be friends, but I don't feel comfortable with them being bf & gf/ etc & etc (with the addendum of 2 yr age difference).

A 15 yr age gap is a totally different dynamic for a 30 & 45 yr old vs a 15 & 30. I'm glad it was looked into, and handled by the admin. I doubt it'll ever stop happening, but I am relieved communities tend to take it seriously.

That whole situation is messed up, for one.

I think that's more likely what the older dudes are in this case. Just saying.
