Yaaa...none of what you suggested would ever work. There's nothing stopping kids from lying about their ages.
This is still weird.
Although, I'll admit that a question like "Where were you when the Berlin Wall fell?" could definitely weed out some of the young uns...
Or Do you like Cartoon, choosing yes, BAM, you're not an adult, make trick question like these will sure confuse them. But since it's 18+, people know what it is and will choose whether or not to go into it

What the heck does age have to do with whether or not you like cartoons? I'm 43 and have 5 kids, I play video games, and yes I do like cartoons, anime. Watch it with my kids. Kung Fu Panda and Puss in Boots look pretty bad **bleep** on my 3DHDTV. Not all content in cartoons is geared towards kids. They also put in some humor for the parents.
That being said, do we really need an 18 y.o. section? I don't think so, there are plenty of filler sites just for that kind of content. Just my opinion, and NO I am not affended by these types of display. Always interested in other cultures. Just don't think an AO forum is needed here, and I know there are ways kids will get around the security. Heck, doing something like this would just invite the hackers for the challenge.
Anyway, just rambling now. Sorry.

Regardless, how would Sony verify the age of those who would want to post in the 18+ section? DNA test?isn't there supposed to be an age verifying when you make your account?? update your personal setting? even when you use your Credit Card, your infomation would be store on Sony Server, the info about your ages , names, etc, simplest way is to put in your ID card number or College ID, or of course a test to see if you are an adult, that only adult know. But since it's 18+. Young Children wouldn't be there in the first place and that's that, it's not weird when you think about it
No. I lied when I originally made my account and said I was 18. You just enter in whatever date of birth you want. And since a credit card is not required to have a PSN ID (Or even to be going to college), there's no way to implement it.
