There’s one thing I’ve never understood about this unverified signup thing.
Anyone can go and make 100 accounts, get full access to the whole of what SL offers, crash the grid as often as they like, lie cheat and steal, and with a quick bypass of the hardware hash system, can come back time and time again and there’s nothing that Linden Lab can do about it.
However, make yourself an alt, and try to provide credit card details so that you can be a verified user, and you get slapped with a $10 charge for creating an alt.
So, not only does it harm you financially to actually provide real life login details, it actually means that you are traceable should you do something that the Feds would like to have a word with you about. Rather, those most likely to do damage – those with free, disposable, repeatable accounts, are mostly untraceable.
Am I alone here, or does it really sound backasswards to you?
