Agreeing to the rules is required before you can access the community. If you're a brand-new member, you'll be redirected to the rules page automatically when you try to visit the Dashboard. Returning members will be redirected whenever a new version is published and your agreement is needed.
After agreeing, you'll be taken to your Dashboard right away.
When you're re-agreeing to an updated version of the rules, some rules may show a badge:
Rules without a badge haven't changed since you last agreed, but you still need to check them to confirm you've reviewed them.
If this is your first time agreeing, every rule will be new to you -- so you won't see any badges. Just read through and check each one. After you agree, your account will be promoted to Stowaway status right away, and you'll be able to start the account setup process.
If you're a parent and your child's account is linked to yours, you can agree on their behalf from the rules page. After completing your own agreement, scroll down to find the Proxy Agreement section. It lists any of your linked children who haven't yet agreed.
Select the children you're agreeing for and click Submit Proxy Agreement. This records their agreement with a note that it was submitted by you as their parent.
Your child can also agree independently any time by visiting the rules page from their own account.
