BINGO

[mindlessflight]

Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

It really was poor wording on my part, nothing more, nothing less. We only need the DOB. I personally could care less for a selfie or whatever, I don't really like that and I know many others don't either, but it is what it is. You do have to give your age upon entry, so really we just need the year to double check and that's about it.

I'm pretty certain you give more information on Facebook and LinkedIn than you would here.

As for SMR in my back pocket, I do not, they are free to do as they wish, they are their own person and I cannot control what they do.

But an ID where you need none of the verifying details other than age is useless. I could use anyone's ID, black out the information other than the date, and show that to you and you'd have no way to prove otherwise. That's what verification means.

All you're doing is information duplication. You're asking the same question twice, without other information to prove anything.

I mean, you absolutely shouldn't require more information, because again you don't seem to understand how this information works. But an ID with only a date is not an ID.

I mean, this is setting aside that almost all IDs have identifying numbers, barcodes or similar data that links to a real database they can be checked against, etc, and that there are steps beyond guessing that an ID looks fake, but.

RE: Facebook and LinkedIn, they're specifically not verified information. I could sign up to Facebook under a fake name, with fake details, and though it'd probably get me banned from Facebook once they got around to it, it's very much not impossible. A Facebook account takes slightly more time to fake than lying about a date, but that's the only barrier. It is not any kind of trustworthy identifier (unless you have access to the decentralised data aggregation that such sites actually make money off, but that's another tangent).

People are saying actual ID is a big deal because it is. If you'd be happy to accept the level of security a Facebook account would offer, you could ask people to link to an active Twitter, Tumblr or other social media with their age somewhere on it. That's a less-invasive method other fandom spaces use.
