Wait. People read THE WHOLE ToU!?!? I couldn’t get through the first couple sentences!
To be fair, I haven't read the whole ToU, but I've been on this website long enough to know the rules.
I tried, my eyes got tired, I got tired of reading about legal stuff I don't understand and as a child probably won't break, for me in summary, don't take strict copywrite stuff, don't tell people not to remix and always give credit

Scratchers are supposed to know the Community Guidelines and messages they get telling them to read them might be handy for some Scratchers, although the messages could be a bit spammy, especially if a user has already memorised it. I semi-support for the message to read the Community Guidelines.

As for the Terms of Use, it is very long, contains words many kids will not understand, and contains content they are not interested in. There is an unofficial summary elsewhere in the forums, but it still contains content kids are not interested in. The Terms of Use are probably more for parents to read. I no support the message to read the Terms of Use.

This was made in the collaboration forum a year ago.

Still, despite it being shortened, many content in it and the original Terms of Use contains content many children would not be interested in.

Do you think I should get rid of the ToU part?

Yes, you should. If kids read and they accept without parental permission, it won't be legally binding, causing legal issues.
In all states, the age requirement to sign a contract is 18 years of age. … Otherwise, the minor child must have a parent or guardian consent to the contract in order for it to be legally binding. If your minor child has signed a contract for a non-essential item without your approval, the contract is not valid.

Ok, edited out the ToU part.

Honesty, whenever I download a new game and they say read the ToU and I ask my parents, they just say accept

I know the CGs, and it's not that hard to remember. I really don't see the point

As many people have said, the Community Guidelines are pretty short and are mostly common sense. They aren't even the thing you should be reminding people to read; the real, much more useful rules are in the Terms of Service. This just seems annoying and unnecessary.

No support. The CG's are just common sense. This would really annoy me.

I'm with everyone else - it is annoying for everyone who does forget the CG's. I do think though new scratchers should read it in a way.

Maybe if your account age is over 13 and every 3 months for that
