Older members would just talk down to the younger ones.  It should be optional to display age, like sexual orientation.

Fer sure not. Age is but a number, proving nothing more than the days of your misery. It doesnt change what you've been through, you learn from personal experience, and I've had conversations with children who are a hell of a lot more opinionated than some of the people I talk to here.

There's both a pro and con with it, but if you think so then I guess my vote would have to be neutral

gender, i agree. it's like people posting annon. and idk if they're a guy or a girl. age, not so much. one, you can lie about it, so that still wouldn't help. and two, not that it's really a problem to tell how old you are, but some people don't want that a known fact. and as far as location, that shouldn't have to be on there at all. not everyone wants people to know where they're from.

I don't know, I'm just opposed to the idea. It's personal information that a person may not wish to share, so should this ever be implemented I think it would definitely have to be optional (and not opt-out, but rather opt-in). Some people might also have set a fake DoB for whatever reason.

Then there's the problem that whist some members might  like the idea, it could bring others to make fun of them for their young age, or if they post a topic to ridicule them and judge them that is not answering their question, and could make them feel bad (or worse than they already do). The older members might also be more likely to receive abuse from others (this is LW don't forget all the pissy and naive members).

It might not be a bad idea to have an option to turn on the age in the personal area of your profile (below your star sign) but it would definitely have to be opt-in. Even then I'm just not too attracted to this idea. We have the option to show all sorts of personal information, and age is too far. There's no real reason why our age should be of any importance, if it is it can be included within the body if a topic. I haven't even addressed the idea of sexual predators, as that's pretty self-explanatory.
