Last time I asked Staff, I received these two links in the reply:


 * http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:AnitaTotallyRocks/Underaged_Users#comm-714365
 * The Terms of Use apply to all Wikia users. If you discover someone who is under 13, you are welcome to send us a link to where they admitted their age (though it's not OK to actually ask someone what their age is out of the blue). Local admins are not, however, required to police this aspect of our Terms of Use. This is Wikia's responsibility, not yours. 


 * http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:AnitaTotallyRocks/Underaged_Users#comm-717549
 * The reason for us not asking you to police it is because the Terms of Use are an agreement between Wikia and each individual user. It's therefore up to Wikia to enforce the agreement (within reason), and up to each individual user to follow it. User A doesn't have anything to do with the agreement between Wikia and User B, so we don't ask people to take on that additional responsibility.

It was also reiterated that admins are permitted to block for no reason at all.

However, I think that blocking otherwise harmless users for a technicality is... not a good reason to block, because blocking exists to prevent vandalism or other problematic behaviour.

edit: The last time I asked, it was framed as whether it was the job/responsibility of admins to report underaged users, I did not ask Wikia Staff whether admins should, but since you've brought it up, I will ask them about that specifically.
