It's not that simple. On one hand, we can't just tell users to lie about their age. If they are indeed underage, they are in breech of the ToU. 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.
