Hi, Wikia staff close accounts belonging to underage users if they've put it on a wiki page (i.e. they have a log that confirms that they've said this). They don't close accounts that say their age in chat, because there's no way of verifying that they said it.

In the future, to let staff know about underage users, please use Special:Contact/general. The law is there to protect children's privicy and ensure their personal information isn't put online, so creating threads about underage users may be counter-productive to the law.

As another note, don't feel as though it's your job to police this - it's something staff do - but not something they require admins to do.
