Minimal payment sites

[bibblebub]

Another site which shall remain nameless has started to require new users to pay 1p with a credit/debit card in order to have their real names and addresses just in case they are thinking of trollery.

Are there any other non-shopping sites which require this? Would it be a good idea if this site introduced this requirement too?

Oh thanks Jack. I'm a bit slow on the uptake. :o(

I guessing membership will hit the skids..

[ChuckFickens]

I think it done that a long time ago!

[factor-fiction]

Sorry- a good thead may get pulled if we keep discussing the other site

[ChuckFickens]

was " pooping in to watch or chat" intentional?

[cazzz1975]

what other sites charge users to confirm their ID's I wonder?

[ummmm]

What sites need to do that, Cazzz?

[LoftyLottie]

Thanks for your link ummmm. I missed it as when I thanked Jack it was on a new page, and I didn't look back.

[cazzz1975]

any sites that could fall foul of trolling or scamming I would suspect, forums and such like

[jackthehat]

I'd certainly need to be satisfied that any details I provided were 'fire-walled' and any site which has so spectacularly failed to deal with its own troll problem due to an absence of Editor/s and moderation, doesn't provide me with any confidence whatsoever.

No need for AB to do anything similar Trolls seem to be swiftly dealt with these days. I was nosy on on occasion and looked in to SAB. It was full outcasts and numpties!

[ummmm]

I wonder while they're doing all these updates will they tighten up their (I haven't got a clue what words to use) security so that the codes can't be messed about with.

Posted at the same time Jack, but along the same lines.

sir prize, I have a feeling this thread will not be around for long..

[humbersloop]

lol ^ chuck. From a quick read of an earlier thread that's gone now, another site seems to be attracting some rather adverse media attention - and not for charging 1p either.

A nominal charge would have put me right off AB - sets off all sorts of alarm bells.

[sir.prize]

Yep cazzz - can feel the storm brewing

[LoftyLottie]

Countdown...................

(But I want to see the News coverage!! )
