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?

[ummmm]

lol...My ears are burning!!

oooooooooooooooooh

My post has gone now chuck - maybe my typo of POOPED instead of pooped was the problem

[factor-fiction]

oops- I'll try to type 'popped' again.

[bibblebub]

a big poop is always more noticeable than a small one

[sir.prize]

Daren't type . . . .

Disappearing in stages and I can't find any news reports :o(

[ummmm]

I could email it to you Lottie but I don't have your email address :-)

I think it's an awful idea, especially the part where you provide credit card info. If the reason put forward is to make dealing with trolls easier, then it would be more appropriate to beef up the moderating.
From what I've seen on this thread, AB's moderators are thoroughly on the ball, so there should be no need to change things.

I'm off out now for a couple of hours. Is it worth me subscribing to this?

[Mamyalynne]

Is free so why not.

[ChuckFickens]

Go on, it's always entertaining having to wait a month for a subscription to a removed thread to clear itself :)

[bibblebub]

subscription cost 1p on a credit card, factor

Friday evening creeping up on us . . . and there are lots of trolls running loose. Hope they stay away from here.

Thank you ummmm, Mamya and Sir.prize, have read the article. What is there to say?!!! Glad people have come forward and reported. Hope that site never takes off again and that those wronged to have to have the same sort of experiences ever again.

"and that those wronged never have to have the same experiences again"

I am experiencing dreadful problems with my keyboard/computer. I am having to type at snail speed because some letters are not appearing and I have to keep going over what Ihave typed ovr and over again.

It's probably just the G&T kicking in Lottie.
