Too much eprsonal information is required in edit
My name, location and birht date are none of your busienss and should be required. Only requied information should be longin name and password. When I tried to change my password I hd it state that all the above information was required. You need to change that inforamtion to optinal.
You have no legitimate ned for that information and if it got out it could be used to steal my idtenty. Which is why i didn't give any of it accuartely other than my Country of location. With my name, city, state and biuirthdate anyone who wanted to steal my identy could easily do so. So it should b totally otpional to add such information. I suggest all users put false inforamtion in the fields. |

It's widely known that Kosta collaborates with the ESA and collects any information to file a lawsuit against every single member of Abandonia.

Sure, sure... the only people beside Kosta himself who could access that information are the admins.
We don't check it without having a good reason, which pretty much means we barely ever do it at all. Quote:
Name, location and birth date are hardly sufficient for anyone to steal your identity. They'd also need your social ID number (which is called different things in different countries). Not to mention a purpose to use your identity for. Also. Your birth date is only required when the forum displays user birthdays for current day, but you have to re-enter it in the forum profile for that to work. And there you can choose if you want it displayed to begin with, and if so then how (as in: age only, date only or full age & date). |

Big Brother is watching. "War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength." Are you stupid or something?

I dunno why all that information is required... Just enter false data if you want.

I was going to steal your identity Peace01, but then I decided there can only be one person on earth who murders the English language like that, so you are safe... for now.
Sleep with one eye open buddy.
