If I remind ppl not to double post and I say to newbies to feel free to owl me if they need help, am I mimicking a staff/mentor position??

In a way, yes, but that’s not problem! Feel free to do that since everyone in this site works together to help everyone!

In general soft, gentle reminders are a part of community culture. There is nothing wrong with saying "this is what we do here" and to be helpful. But if someone is truly lost, the mentor program serves as an additional resource for them. You would be doing them a disservice by omitting the information if it would be beneficial. I am a huge proponent of autonomy and letting a person decide their best path.

Can I say that my character (11 years of age) has seen the Odyssey movie? Asking cause it's a good film but has strong age ratings

I would say no as the Odyssey is 15 rated _{but staff correct me if wrong}

Hi, yes, you can. We often look for realism: is it realistic that an 11-year old has seen the Odyssey movie? I say yes as age ratings (specifically 15+) have never really held anyone back as far as I know. It is a different story if the 11-year old mentions they have seen e.g. an 18+ movie with their parents.

Where I'm from it's rated 18+ , but good to know that's a relief

Thankfully, we use UK laws here! Just make it make sense with your character. A situation I can envision is an 11-year old character watching it with their slightly older cousins who are chill about that stuff. A situation I can not envision is an 11-year old who never breaks any rules and hates violence putting on the movie by themselves while their strict parents are in the same room.

I was thinking something like a group of friends plan to watch the movie where a couple of them look like they are 15 and thus no one stops them

I am not sure how this works in the UK but as someone who has worked in a cinema in a different country before, we actually ask for ID on 16+ movies (which this movie is considered in my country). I think an 11-year old being let into the cinema is unrealistic. But feel free to owl me if you would like to discuss further details as to not spam this thread
