where I'm stuck on this, I suppose, is a question that hasn't been answered yet: how would this potentially be enforced?
it's pretty difficult to actually enforce an age limit in a digital space that doesn't involve showing ID or something like that. the alternative would be to ban only on those who slip up, but then the rule in practice isn't so much "anyone under this age isn't allowed" and more "if you admit you're under this age you get banned". this is the case with a lot of unenforced age limits online, and with how rigorous the administration evidently wants to be in maintaining the rules, it feels like that option may just feel too loose
