I don't recall if ICD has a box where you say you are an adult when you sign up, but it may be a good idea. Beyond that I think all they need is to post a privacy policy, i.e. if I give my real name to the moderators in good faith, will ICD safeguard that? Etc. Actually I suppose you should give your real name to ICD, not the moderators, since they change all the time.
