I actually checked all the profiles of those listed there (though many haven't made a single post after getting cleared)
This worries me a bit: what if they're waiting until there's less attention on them? Then again, maybe I've just seen too many spamming Newbies.
I'm thinking – would jreesun had moved on (out from this forum) if no one whitelisted them against the evil fee?
I know I would have left! It's kinda bad that privacy has such a high price on the internet.
I must say they make it very easy to reject them, if they can't follow simple instructions.
Does that include asking a new user to do a video of their IP?
No, it's mainly just reading the OP. I don't see how a video adds anything.
I referred someone to the forum and wanted them to be whitelisted
Just post here:
2. Get someone to vouch for you
If an established member knows you personally, they can post your username in this topic for whitelisting. I won't accept vouches from for instance a bounty hunter with 1000 Activity and 0 earned Merit.)
My new friend who was in correspondence with one of the handlers of the listed email addresses here was asked to do a video of their IP to prove a point that it wasn't a farmed account of mine.
That wasn't me
I don't want to know IP-addresses, and wouldn't be able to tell how much evil it has anyway.
My question is this – does asking someone to do a video of their IP not violate a user's privacy?
Asking is one thing,
giving it means consent. So I don't think it's a privacy violation in the legal sense, but I wouldn't ask it.
I can imagine asking which VPN or something is used though.
I do ask different users different things sometimes. I'm still figuring out what works. Several don't even respond anymore after that.
