   WHY I ASK FOR REAL INFO O

       Now, My bbs is 100% totally free, no bills in the mail, no   
   subscriptins..  BUT, I request that people put in REAL information and I   
   voice verify them.. And here are my reasons, if you like them good, if you   
   dont, I really dont care because you will be missing out on one good system.   
   Remember, the sysop is the one who spends $1,000+ on hardware to run the   
   system, $500+ on software (I run WildCat WinServer), plus labor, time,   
   headaches, etc...   I am the one who pays the $80 a month comercial cable   
   modem bill, I am the one who built the system and pays the electric bill   
   because its turned on 24/7 a day..  I was the one who spent $300 to replace   
   4 56k USR V.Everythings when i got hit by lightinging on the phone lines..   
   I am the one who goes to computer shows and buys $10-$15 Shareware CD's to   
   load onto the system..  I am the one who shells out $20-50 to register each   
   door on the system.. So, If I want your real name and phone number, its MY   
   RULE!  U dont like it, dont sign up.  I have no problems with pushing the   
   "D"elete User button!   
      
   Now, Since I got to ramble a bit, Here are my reasons.   
      
   #1) Most RIFF RAFF or problem users will not put in REAL information.. So   
   insently you are saving yourself from problem/asshole users.   
      
   #2) This way, you dont have ONE person signing up for 2-3 accounts because   
   he wants his 3 people to get 1 person in lords, Thus once again, Riff Raff   
   and saving yourself problems.   
      
   #3) With systems having pop3 and Telnet access.. Now lets say one of your   
   FAKE users log into your system, then use thier GOOF@acc17901.COM e-mail to   
   send e-mails to their x-wife and say that he is going to kill her, or harass   
   her..  But the wife has a PFA agains him.. Humm, Well the cops will COME TO   
   YOUR HOUSE! because the msg came from YOUR SYSTEM!!  And your going to tell   
   the cops that goof from japan with a phone number of 555-1212 sent that   
   e-mail!!!  GET REAL!!  The cops will then come back to your house and TAKE   
   ALL OF YOUR EQUIPTMENT so they can ship it to the state police lab to have   
   them find the ip address that connected to you, etc..  Dont tell me it cant   
   happen because it happend to a VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE 6 Years ago!!!  He   
   lost everything!! He got his equiptment back 3 1/2 months later!!   
      
   So deal with my rules or dont log in...
