@KennysComiks To be 100% honest with you: I do not understand why it is uncomfortable for you to disclose your age - but since you seem uncomfortable about it, I can 'accept' it without pestering you about it. If that helps. ;)
The thing is, that most users on Newgrounds are adults. Some of us are old enough to have kids that are old enough for a Newgrounds-account. So our wish would be that our (teenage-)kids would be "safe" on NG and that we know how to interact with others without having to ask people's age all the time.
For example: I give a lot of medical advice - because I happen know a lot about human medicine. (And I always open with a part where I explain that I am not a medical professional.) Sometimes I assume that they are living in a country that does not have a very functional 'public health services'. Or that they are living on their own and cannot afford to see an 'actual' medical professional this month when they ask about these things.
I gave medical advice to 'you' the other day. When you suddenly said "my parents" I was a bit surprised, because I would think you would have asked your parents instead of "strangers from the internet". You might have had your reasons to not talk with them about it, but I could not factor that into my initial response - because I did not know. (I hope you're better now, btw.)
I'm not suggesting you should disclose every aspect of your life to strangers on the internet (_especially_ as a minor), but that was the kind of posts usually made by adults. Adults who might not want to disclose that they cannot afford proper medical examination but still want to know if they will cause permanent damage to their body if they wait a week or two before they see a doctor about this. And they cannot ask their friends because they are afraid of being looked down upon for "being poor".
Adults have it _rough_ sometimes...
So yeah... We try out best. But saying things as "There should be no need for disclosing a user's minor/adult-status" on a site mostly populated by adults isn't quite right either.
You are 'partially correct', though: If NSFW-topics come up, I even ask 'adults' "Hey, are you okay with discussing this?" or "Hey, can I send you a link to an "M"- or "A"-rated submission?" and wait for a reply before I start talking about it. So the thought that somebody could breach such a topic to a minor "by accident" seems 'pretty outlandish' to me.
