Is there a way to restrict interactions between youth and adults?

Hi, All,

I moderate a site that is sensitive in nature (LGBTQIA oriented) and one concern that has been raised is interactions between youth and adults. In particular, direct messages. On our previous platform, we prevented direct messages between youth and adults. Is there a way to do so using the discourse platform? I am well aware that people can lie about their age, but at least this will serve as an initial tactic.

Thanks!

See site setting enable private messages and min trust to send messages.
