Generally agreed. I would only point out 18 is not world-wide age considered as adult who make their legal decision without the consent of their parents. In Japan, the age is 20. If you think it important, we are better to amend this part "at least 18 and explicitly or over the age at which they are capable to act without the consent of their parent in the country they reside".
For the curious: There's a strange exception still in the dutch lawbooks where in one situation you can be treated as a legal adult as young as 15 [1](It's one of those strange old laws that's still in the books, but probably hasn't been used for a century).
Oh, but actually, but that does give me an idea on how to apply the [[KISS principle]] and make the line shorter:
"Checkusers should be legal adults in the jurisdiction in which they reside."
read you soon, Kim Bruning
[1] For the terminally curious: If you are under 18, you are still permitted to marry, provided you have parental permission, and provided you are older than 15. As soon as you are married, you become a legal adult. I don't think anyone has actually done this in the last 100 years, but it's still technically possible, AFAIK.
