Checking account 'age', is this the right way?

[sahisahi]

Hello this is what im using:

It works, i wonder if it is the right way to do it

/////////Checking account age///////////////////
            Account acct = killed.Account as Account;
           
            if (acct != null && killed.AccessLevel <= AccessLevel.Player)
            {
            TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now - acct.Created;
           if (ts.TotalDays < 3)
          {       
          Console.WriteLine("That account is not old enough! "); ///<- just to make sure
            awardpoints = false;
           }
        }
 
            //////////////end of checking account age edit///////////////

Thanks!

That is correct, but one minor detail - use DateTime.UtcNow.
Account.Created is assigned DateTime.UtcNow, so if you use DateTime.Now, it won't compensate for the time zone difference and be off by N hours.
