I just observed the prompt about providing KYC (Know Your Customer) information to continue using the Forum here. While I am pretty sure I provided some personal information, SSN and/or Credit Card info is way over the line for me in terms of this kind of Forum. I get it for a bank where large amounts of money changes hand, but this feels way to intrusive, or perhaps the whole point of the forum is changing and I just didn't realize it.

It's rare for me to start a thread, but I wanted some other thoughts.

I agree 100%. I never thought I will have to send a selfie publicly to a forum, just to comply.
But I believe in theymos' honesty and I did send the selfie. And I also got verified very quick. You should do the same.

The funny thing is that there are people who do sent out selfie together with their ID's  Grin
Trying to look and search that guy but it seems he do realized that its April 1 and deleted that post.

I'd be worried if you are a troll, "Am I a troll?" That is the question you should be doing it hehe

Don't be worried when you see some update in the fourm...
Just always move to meta to check what's happening. I hope you know that I'm saying just to remind you again.

I'm very concerned about the new KYC requirements, because the only picture that I had available was one which shows me when I was very angry. Is it against the law to assault and throw a bear?




I admit that I tried to originally cheat the system by presenting a naked picture of my ex-wife. But then I had a change of heart. However, I just got done talking with her on the phone over my back alimony payment, so I am now going to repost the naked picture of her for all to see.





All kidding aside. Just so you know, if you actually sent the form, it was routed to 127.0.0.1, from what I read on other parts of this forum. This address is the loopback address so it should not have leaked outside of your devise.

Theymos has a lot of ideas trolling members on april fools. But so far, this is the craziest one that even me almost forgot its his favorite day. Its seems legit because of the coordinates indicated below. KYC is the most intriguing topic here and he knows how to piss off people. Haha!. Its gone now so dont need to be worried.

Just ready to face the FBI in real soon because as theymos mentioned all the details will be given to FBI by today itself. Tongue
