My main reason when I came back to Facebook and Farm Town was to work other people's farms, my farms aren't fancy, and I decided it wasn't worth it to have other people on it, no matter how much people whine in the Marketplace they need jobs, because of the difficult people.
And I've seen teens on, on the weekends, using their parents' farms, their parents use it as a form of babysitting -- to keep the kids out of their hair, they go into their Farm Town and tell the kid, here you play my game for a while. I haven't met anyone younger than 13 (from what they have told me), but I've been in the Marketplace when people start having "adult" conversations and not only do the rest of us adults not want to hear it and feel it's inappropriate for a game, but some have spoken up and said, "I'm only 16, please stop." Unfortunately, some people just don't understand that the Marketplace is a public space, as if you're in a real market, and to act accordingly. I'm 49 and don't want to hear the "adult" stuff. It's not farming. But parents let their kids use their accounts, or at least 2x I've met kids who got into their parents' Farm Town games out of boredom without asking. I've chided them, but they aren't my kids, and you can't be sure if they are actually children, they might be undercover cops trying to see if you'll hit on kids. At least that's the way I approach it. In any event, I play each situation as it's faced to me, you can't just respond by ignoring people all the time because then you don't know where they are, and you might need to.
