How do you suggest we verify the age of members?
In the UK there is no need for members to prove their age as we don't have any legal age limits in the way they do in the US. Even sites like facebook and twitter based in the US don't ask for age proof, just state that under 13 are not allowed. That is only because its easier than all the messing about needing parents to agree to them joining.
The usual problem we have with young members is the adults on the site, if you don't like them don't involve yourself in a conversation with them.
