Question for Darkside sysop [Archive] - ForumsHQ

[Phaedra]

Ok The Darkside Is Open!!!!! We've Decided To Make Our Private Haven Open To The General Populace. After Account Creation Please Make Sure To Read Main Menu Option "Z". ALL Accounts Will Be Required To Provide A Valid Phone Number. 2 Accounts Per IP. We Have Borrowed A Few Good Ideas From Several Other BBS's And Are Always Open To New Suggestions. Be Happy Come Play In Our Yard









Above is a portion of your ad and am wondering what the need is for perspective members to have to give a VALID HOME NUMBER?



Am curious as it is a free board and asking for such personal info I feel is not necessary.

Bump for curiosity's sake.

To validate 2 accounts per ip, all the proof I require is a human voice on the other end to tell me it's one person with 2 accounts, not one person with 5 or 50 accounts, make sense? Aint like I'm some telephone salesman ya know.

[hades]

actually no it doesnt make sense.if you are only allowing 2 accounts per ip why would a human voice need to be verified to see if they are running 5 or 50 accounts?

[Sven]

you already have the ip... why do you need voice confirmation?

[Savage Pride]

Again, it isn't like I'm "asking" anyone to play, I'm simply inviting them to play. True it is not a pay board, but any novice can grab an ipmasker/changer and run 50 accounts, I limit to 2 per ip, and verify by voice. If a person has a problem with that, then there's an equally simple solution, don't play. Matters not a bit to me one way or another. Why ask why...... Either do or don't. Grins, no loss to me one way or another.
