Hello everybody, HighJewElfKing here with more information about GDPR and the changes they will have on FANDOM and some changes we'll be making to our Discord following GDPR taking effect on Friday.

What is GDPR
GDPR, Also known as the General Data Protection Regulation is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union.

What does this mean for South Park Archives
FANDOM has updated their terms of use in preparation for this new law. In the new ToU, there are two important age changes for EU residents. "You confirm that you are 16 or older (applicable to users located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) excluding the U.K.) or 13 or older (applicable to users located in the rest of the world including the U.K.), and acknowledge that the Service is not intended for children under such ages, as applicable. You may not use the Service and may not accept the Terms of Use if you by law are barred from using the Service or accepting the Terms of Use.

In order to use certain portions of the Service (described in more detail in our Privacy Policy), you will need to first register on the Service. You must not register for membership in the Service where you are prohibited by law. In addition, the Service is intended solely for users who are:

In the EEA (excluding the UK), 16 or older; or In the rest of the world (including the UK), 13 or older."

What does this mean for you

 * We are going to make age changes to the wiki and Discord in the interest of user maturity and also to ensure we are compliant with this law for those of you in the EU.
 * You must be 16 years old or older to edit on South Park Archives.
 * You must be 16 years or older to access our Discord.
 * On our Discord for users verifying their account. You must also now disclose your CURRENT AGE.
 * Users who are in our Discord or users who edit under the age of 16 will be allowed to stay at this time. However, if you are in the EU, you may have to be banned until you turn 16 but that is currently unknown.
 * The age limit changes will be added in our Manual of Style and Rules shortly.
 * As of right now, the 16 years old age limit does affect people in the UK.

Further Information
I totally understand this is confusing and I am available to answer any questions you all may have here, on my message wall or in the Discord.
