Security Update


MindArk have updated the security system that verifies new account applications.

Previous security requirements resulted in the restriction of new account applications from certain geographical regions. The system has now been updated and allows account applicants from these regions to continue to create an account upon verification of their identity. MindArk strive to maintain an even balance between security and user-friendliness in order to ensure the integrity of all participant accounts. This update is another step in providing everybody an opportunity to participate in the virtual universe.

Countries in eastern Europe and South America were particularly affected before this security update.

Still it good to see MA speak a bit about what they do.
I hope they will speak more .

 

[Dom_sufc]

-rep. Do not stereotype an entire country.

 

[Panther]

Same here, i don`t like people to call all Romanians scammers. Glad something was done about that (ty MA for looking into this matter..if it was the best option?i think for the moment it was)

 

[dbelinfante]

repped both the neg reppers back of course.

Sheez. Get a grip.

 

[Sharyn]

Some action is better than no action at all!

@ dbelinfante: Cool down dear or you might drown during that flood of yours!

I'm cool. It's others that seem to get all flustered.

BTW, I don't get the flood reference.

 

[Montaque]

Finally!!
I live in Sweden but got quite disturbed when I heard about MA "banning" some specific contries!

How do I +rep MA for this? heh
Very nice move MA!

 

[Sharyn]

It's just a means to say: "Don't go overboard again with the whole country scam thing"

You know, I am relly getting tired with all the bad things that have been said about my country and my fellow countrymen ... you figure out the rest for yourself ...

 

[NetStalker]

How do I +rep MA for this?

Silly man....you deposit of course.....

 

[dbelinfante]

Just for the record: It was JOKE, and anyone who's been paying any attention at all knows this is NOT how I feel, quite the opposite. I explicitly protested the blanket ban of Romania.

Shoot first, ask questions later. Nice attitude. D**kheads.

You're damn right I get flustered when I see people like you trying to label an entire country. Comments like that is one reason this world is so fucked up atm and I won't stand for it.

If you want to talk further about this, just pay me a visit at the rig.

You are my keyboard hero. Read my previous post and admit you made a mistake. (Right, fat chance, )

Well, if you truly are opposed to MA banning Romania then you should have +repped me for sticking up for them. But you didn't, so really you are just contradicting yourself. Pick a side and stick with it.

Read for comprehension. I did stick up for all Romanians of good will (which is nearly all of them). There was and is no contradicton. Just you refusing to admit you jumped the gun. Which fits with your illusions about solving things at the rig.

And who are you tell me to +rep you for what you said?

All I'm saying is that if you feel strongly about something then you would not "joke" like you did. It was a very inappropriate joke considering all that has happened here with Romania lately. And you're right, I have not read all of your prior posts about Romania on all the other threads, and I shouldn't have to, and you souldn't expect anyone else to either.

As far as "solving" things at the rig, I'm simply telling you where to find me if you feel like dicussing this further in private, since I'm almost always there M-F from 1am - 5am MA time.

If I came over to the rig when you're there, and consistently blew you away for a few hours, you would not feel any better about this. And neither would you if you did the same to me. So what was the point of bringing that up unless as some silly macho attempt to 'take the matter outside'?

As far as joking goes, I joke about a lot less appropriate stuff. You may fault me for this, even -rep me for this. The point was (and it's moot now), you and other posters are apparently so sensitive about this issue, you failed to see it as such.

Anyway. I'm done with this.

na, you're wrong there bud...it would make my day to pk you.

I don't know what country you are from, since you don't post this info publically, but if your contry was banned, and everyone called people from your country scammers, would you not be sensitive about the issue??

Anyway. I'm done with this.

about time.

 

[dbelinfante]

Actually, not at all. I'm from Holland, I've said so many times. I could not care less what you write or say about other Dutchmen, or the Dutch in general, as I have no nationalistic bone in my body.

I mean: ViagraFalls is from Holland. So is BruuD. And Chainfire. And still I am not embarassed! (Hint: another tasteless joke!)

 

[Erinome]

...but if your contry was banned, and everyone called people from your country scammers, would you not be sensitive about the issue??

No way! I from America - The Land of the Capitolistic War-Mongers.
I know that's not me personally, so I don't let it bother me

 

[Centech]

I say this out of love. Will you all shut the hell up?!

 

[Pretender]

well, MindArk did listen to the community. in the topic about romania being banned there is the suggestion to MA to check peoples identity b/f allowing them to join...to prevent further...problems.

so they did that. good.

 

[Kaiser]

+rep to Bertha (yes really! Try it!).

So now those scamming Romanians will flood EU again?

Awesome racism RULES!!! We need more of it in our everyday life because there sure is not enough already!!

ermm... If it's me you're referring to: Romanians are not a race. So even if I were serious about my prejudice against them, it would not be racism.

More cowboy-justice fans.

 

[Mikass]

so Romania wasn`t the only country banned, some other east european countries as well and some countries from S America. That`s a relief

Right, that makes it all better! Now no one needs to feel singled out.

 

[Panther]

Whatever...point was some people might not necesatelly understand "humor" regarding romanians, as said before, there was enough fuss about that in the other thread regarding locking. Good thing MA did something about it. ANd that`s that
