    If they’re ban evading, they’re just going to keep getting rebanned and isn’t an influencer at that point. Appearances is a difficult problem, and unless it’s very obvious they’re under 16, they shouldn’t be banned. The alternative is that you ask for IDs to guarantee this, which is horrible. It’d be much more preferable to let this small problem run rampant, since it’s significantly less harmful then requiring IDs which I hope I don’t need to explain why that’s extremely bad, privacy invasive, and a security nightmare.
