i do know that

if you are a complete twatwaffle and don't bother to hide it

than you really should be blocked until you're not a twatwaffle anymore

An IP directly doesn't reveal your age. However, it helps in:

1. IP Filtering executes a protocol over the server.

2. The server pings the IP's location transmitting the domain name and gateway address.

3. The Location protocol then terminates the previous comment function that the user performed.

4. The Location then filter's the IP to phish out the possible post protocol transfers that the user may have executed via the e-mail adress.

5. Done. (As the user profile is matched with the e-mail adress that reveals your DOB).

Also, as I've said, most users here get caught because of their own mistakes. Btw, never heard of twatwaffle before. lol :P
