I suggest a simple rule: Don't let people under the age of 15 create regiments.
I feel it will smooth a lot of problems in the long run, and it doesn't sound very elitist.
Too many fresh young players thinking they're hot stuff coming around and making a crapload of bad, disorganized groups.
Let them join a regiment and find out how to run one before they go making one.
Edit: I will note, that I was nowhere near ready to lead or organize a clan at even 15. The last few years have made the difference, where I feel confident in my ability.
Eh, still sounds somewhat elitist, but I can't say much for how ineffective it might be.
But, the issue here comes from how you will be able to determine how old the user is. Unless the L'Aigle team creates an independent website that requires users to plug in their age upon registration, it'll be virtually impossible to make sure.
And let's not bring Tavington into this. Not the place, and personally I've seem quite enough abuse showered his way.
... But anyway i think the real problem comes from the communities subconscious tenancies to put officers on this high high pedistol and create a an image of the elite, intelligent, well connected, infinitly lovable, gentlemanly officer, and inversely the unheard of, pawns of foot soldiers bossed around like swine. At least thats how i observed it back then, i felt that the rest of the regiment was older then my yet less mature, loud, sexually comedic to a gross extent, and had little appreciation for history or the complexities of managing a regiment on and off the battle field. So perhaps the un-mendable culture of some (dare i say most... 
) units is what drives a certain sort of 14 year old away from staying in line and rather fancying making his own.
