It would only be used for asylums that ALREADY require you to be 18 to join, though. As it is at the moment, you have to have your full birthdate visible in your profile so the maintainer knows you're 18 so they can accept you, and it's an awful lot of work for a maintainer to check the age of every single person who wants to join. If you don't want to join an asylum that bills itself as 18+ it wouldn't affect you at all, the way I'm reading it. The only way it would, is if you choose to turn it on for the purposes of joining an asylum that would be checking how old you are anyway. It just means that you don't have to display your whole birthdate in your profile, and the maintainer has less work to do.

I assume that if the asylum didn't require friends-locked posting, you'd be able to read all the posts anyway, they wouldn't be behind the stupid cuts. If they do require friends-locked posting, well, it's exactly the same as how the system already is. If you're under 18, the maintainer won't let you join, you can't read the posts.

The vast majority of asylums wouldn't bother with something like this, so it really would only affect the users who want it to affect them.
