Temple of the Jedi Order treats the safety of minors with the utmost importance and we take our responsibilities to our younger members very seriously.
We define a minor as someone who is under the age of eighteen (18), if you are a minor, please read Section One and Section Three carefully.
If you are parent or guardian of a minor, please read Section Two and Section Three carefully.
Section One - for Minors
What should I do if I’m a minor in order to join the order?
First, have in mind that we do not allow members under the age of thirteen (13) to formally join the Order. This means that a Simple Oath and Jedi Application by people who are under the age of thirteen (13) will count as being invalid. We do not allow members under the age of sixteen (16) to be apprenticed to a Teaching Master. We do not allow minors, those under eighteen (18), to become Knights.
Second, read the Agreement and make sure you follow our rules, this is for your own safety as well as that of our guests and members.
Third, contact one (or more) Youth Officers and let them know you have joined the temple. They will give you access to youth section of the forum.
Please have in mind that youth officers should be the first persons to be contacted if you needed someone to talk to. If the matter is urgent please contact any other Councilor. Any matter is dealt with in strict confidence.
We will respect the wishes of your parents or guardians, if they wish to restrict your access then we will oblige them until you are no longer a minor. If a parent or guardian needs to view your online activity then we will, providing they can prove their identity, oblige.
We strongly encourage all minors to view the links below which are great for learning more about online safety:
Section Two - for Guardians/Parents
Your child's safety is important to us. We will do our best to protect them from any potential threat. You, as their guardian or parent can ask us, if you prove your identitiy, to restrict the website access of your child or request us to show you their online activity.
If you need to contact anyone, please contact our youth officers Youth Officers, and if it is urgent, please contact a Councilor.
We also recomand you to read the following pages about online safety:
Section Three - Minor's Agreement
We expect minors on our forum to agree to and follow these basic guidelines on internet safety:

- Do not give out any identifying information about friends or familiy.
- Do not download anything from anyone you don't know. In addition to offensive content, spam or junk e-mail may contain viruses that can damage your computer.
- You will report any suspicious, threatening or inappropriate behaviour and you will not respond to it further. You will report such behaviour to a Youth Officer or Councillor immediately. You should report anyone persistenly asking for any personal information or making you feel threatened or unsafe.
- While contacting officers, please tell them “Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is -Yoda” this is to ensure you have read the agreement.
- You will never meet with someone you met at TotJO in the real world without the express permission of your parent or guardian.
