Are underage users' accounts deleted or banned?

1,718 ComradeSandman  yesterday

If someone is found to be underage, is the account outright deleted or given a sort of ban?
To be clear, I don't mean a normal ban that leaves posts. I mean if they are given something that effectively deletes the account without actually destroying the data outright.
I say this, because an account being entirely deleted because a moderator saw a typo (e.g. "I'm [<13]" instead of intended "I'm not [<13]") would be... bad, to say the least. Very bad. Very bad.
Are permabanned reversible?

Idk.

I wrote earlier "I'm not 9", but realize that I'm very (VERY) prone to typos and honestly I wouldn't entirely discount myself from somehow messing up and writing "I'm 9", or some similar equivalent. As absolutely absurd as that'd be (I've had my account for over five years and I've posted several short stories to boot), I'm not sure how closely the moderators look when seeing something (i.e. anything) that give indication that a user might be underage.
Is it shoot-on-site, or is further investigation done?

TL;DR: Am I one dumb typo away from losing everything?

    depending on what age they say they are, the account is probably banned until said person is probably 13.

    if it's not like this then it has to be

    @YarisSedan Unfortunately I believe it got overturned.
    Honestly that site is a clusterfuck. Just stay away from populated areas.

    @YarisSedan It was WPlace, so probably drawing softcore porn.
    I'm fairly sure it was that, actually.

    @Ashdenpaw1 WAIT FR
    okay that's funny. Reminds me of hearing about some dipshit on WPlace who got a 300 year ban. Has the energy of a wizard putting a curse on someone. Banishment.

    Back when I was a small, annoying child (12) I had my account banned, it still exists but when I try to log in it tells me I’m banned for a few hundred years

    @SupremeDorian What's the policy here? Can anything be done if an account is deleted by Moderators in error?
