If you want to run a Pleroma server with open registrations and guarantee all users are 18 years of age, configure Paypal as your OAuth Consumer and require users to login with a Paypal account.
Paypal will do the age verification for you. Also makes bans pretty effective too as they can't just sign up with a new account.
