How did it solve this? How do you verify someones age conveniently?
I imagine large numbers of adolescents don't want to play with
adolescents either so what's to stop them saying they are 40.

Is age really even a determining factor or just a convenient but
inaccurate stereotype for a certain type of undesirable player?
