So basically the reason for this is a friend of mine created an account and accidentally put 2016 as their birthday, thus disabling the ability for them to send friend requests. Normally I would tell them to generate a master key to bypass any parental settings in place however that doesn't seem to be their issue, as even allowing the account to accept / receive requests still fails as the account is deemed too young to be allowed to do so.
I've already stated to them I have my doubts about this even being possible as account information like this is probably pulled from the Server after account creation rather than being locally stored, thus making it not possible to circumvent. Even with that being said I was asked to make a thread to see if I would be proved wrong. (although hopes are still very low for this)
For a bit more information; they have full access to parental controls though like stated before that is not the current issue, nothing is disabled there. It's just the age of the given account being the offending issue. Like I explained to them in pseudo it most likely has an argument of something like this
If Account Age < 13
Disable friend requests():
while they can just create a new account (which I also think would be the easiest option) they would like to use the original one they created [this being the one that has the current issue described]
Once again, I highly doubt this is possible but it never hurts to ask.
