From: Pie Psaltery Considering we had been told repeatedly during the time open-registration was implimented that verification of the identity of residents was practically impossible for LL anyway... I wonder what they think they know now about how to verify identity that they didn't know on 06/06/06. Well that's like saying seeing creditcard access doesn't stop kids from getting to porn & beastiality sites, we should open the gates there too for the benifit of cardless Europeans. Yeah it doesbn't stop all kids but its better than the free for all we have now. Probably the only minors on the teen grid are those their parents make go there. |

I wonder what they think they know now about how to verify identity that they didn't know on 06/06/06. What they know now that they didnt on 6/06/06 is that unverfied accounts are a major headache. Of course we did tell them they would be. I think the "verification of residents is impossible" was another of those Make a decision on business grounds first than rationalize your supposed reasons based on some "logicical premises" I wonder if they are only addint this verification to allow them yet another degree of seperation from being responsible for "users content". |

From: Chip Midnight I think this is a good idea. How many of us hand out business cards to strangers that tell them our phone number and where we work? They don't tell them my home address or phone number, and my mailing address is a post office box. From: someone If you're willing to do that in the real world, why panic about doing it in SL? I'm not wilingto do that in the real world. From: someone Is it really any different than being listed in the phone book? I'm not listed in the phone book. |

From: Chip Midnight Anyone you meet in the real world, through work, or at a bar, or on the sidewalk, or anywhere else, has just as much potential to be a frightening nutcase as someone met online, yet online people attribute a much higher level of danger. If someone is going to find out where I live by meeting me in the street (a circumstance in which they don't normally get my name just by looking at me, by the way) they have to physically follow me home. I get the opportunity to catch them at it, and if they make a habit of it they'll get caught sooner than they expect. And I don't even need to know who they are to do it... they're accountable for their actions without being identifiable before the fact. On the Internet, you don't have to follow someone, you can get your computer to do that. Everything a stalker or identity thief needs to do is a thousand times easier. They can't physically attack you, but they can cause you just as much monetary loss. And, again, I can engage in transactions I'm accountable for honoring (buying and selling goods, for example) without the people I'm exchanging goods or services with knowing who I am or where I am. |

From: Cocoanut Koala Well, that's kind of an odd question for me, really, because I mostly don't have any need to trust people, and also because I just mostly trust people, until they give me some reason not to. Me too. I can't recall the last time I checked someone's profile to tell whether I should "trust" them or not. Mostly I check to see if they're new and if they are I give them my freebie collection.  |

-Ben That's nice. I will continue to ignore the next 1,000. And I will report you for flooding. I sympathize with you, but this is an ineffective and completely irritating tactic that is more likely to get you banned than anything else. . |
