It is still a breech of the ToU, and that is not something that can simply be ignored. On the other hand, it also against the terms of use to ask people below the age of eighteen their age, as defined here:

"[You] agree not to use the Service to: [...] Solicit personal information from any user under the age of 18;" So this is not exactly an easy thing to make a rule for. If you have sufficient evidence that a user is underaged, simply report them to Staff. I am fully aware. This rule is to prevent anyone, 'no matter what age, from dropping sufficient evidence of said age, since if they are underage, we have to and''' will report them to Staff, with accompanying indefinite ban. Admins and Moderators, Users, etc. are already barred from asking or soliciting ages from any user in general, so therefore, an underage user, ok or not, would only be known to be underage if they said something about it.

As part of good faith, I must assume that anyone I do not know the age of is of age. If an underage user cannot drop that information, then if it is ok or not ok, I must assume that they are over the age of thirteen.
