Automatic age verification
As a maintainer of an adult oriented asylum I would dearly love to have some internal automatic age verification. Right now maintainers have to manually check the age of anyone requesting to join their communities and this forces people to publicly display at least the year portion of their date of birth (or to email the maintainers, creating more work for everyone).

What I would like to have:

1. A hidden tag on accounts to mark them 18+. This would be opt-in and would not require any publicly visible information in their profile (though I suppose some people might want it visible and maybe that should be opt-in as well).

2. A setting on asylums that restricts memberships to 18+ and automatically checks for the tag on any account that tries to join.

People from LJ probably recognize this as the only useful part of their flagging system.

Related to this, if an asylum is restricted to 18+ it should be possible for a maintainer to make public, unrestricted, posts. This gives the option of putting some asylum information on the main page and not just in the asylum info (and makes the layouts prettier). LJ users will notice that this is not possible with LJ's flagging system.

Tangentially related question: Is there currently a way to set an asylum friends only AND have public posts? I figured out how to friends lock my asylum through the admin console but as far as I can tell I cannot set the security of posts to public now. I'd like to have a "no, this really isn't dead, just adults only" post while having the default security on new posts be friends only. :)

Entirely unrelated: The "read this first" post linked in this asylum's info hasn't been updated since 2005 and was made by a deleted account. Maybe that should be updated?
