It helps the staff in various ways.
First, if you're a minor, we need to set your account as a COPPA user. This protects the site in a limited way. (Google COPPA requirements)
Next, if a member has drawn the attention of the staff, knowing how old a person is helps us to possibly understand the individuals perspective and gives us a better idea of how to address the issue that drew our attention to them. We don't respond to a 50 year old the same way we do a 24 or even 35 year old (same as any of us do in real world/non-internet encounters). The better we can understand the person, the better we can understand the others perspective and possibly which response will work best for all involved. For some it could be the difference between a quick PM, a slap on the wrist, a perma-ban, or nothing at all.
Pipe down there Idaho. And if you could just stand still outside your new garage for another 2 minutes the drone will be able to get some more good shots of you for our dossier.
