I don't think it's so much an age factor, rather an extra layer of security. I understand this is a forum made to generate sales for the people who pay to be here, its also about shared information for the community so others can learn from one another..... the problem lies with little Jimmy whos buying shit online and doesn't know what the fuck he's doing because he didn't do his research and somehow now has dangerously high blood pressure, or he sells the shit to some kids in high school and gets caught.... now LE starts creating accounts and buying shit and getting addresses and it could really just snow ball from there....i mean if LE wants you they're going to get you one way or the other, but a minimum post count at the very least to get a feel for whomever should be on the other side of that screen, isn't a terrible idea... your not pushing anyone away, infact your giving people a chance, if between 1-100 posts you say some incredibly dumb shit, or threaten anyone...i think that warrants a ban... that's attention no one needs.
