Consider the situation where a 15 year old, having done the trivial lie of pretending to be 18, and having been abused or otherwise pressured into an inappropriate situation with an adult member of the community, might be too scared to come forward to the admin team for fear of being banned from a place they share with their friends.
Also consider the flipside where someone, having acted unappropriately with a minor over discord, claims that they thought the 18+ rule meant that the onus of making sure that they weren't interacting with a minor was on the goonstation team.
All this for what would, as sov said, be effectively no material change outside of these two things.
I don't see why we would do this. The only reason we would need this is if we intended to implement 18+ features inappropriate for minors, which we have zero intention to ever do
