Keep in mind that the code already makes it so if a community sets itself as "adult only", no one who signed up with an account with a birthdate that makes them under 18 can join. So honestly, I think the problems mentioned are addressed already, as long as the community who wants to keep its members under 18 marks itself as adult only.
