How Do I Validate?
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Do you ever wonder how sysops of private boards validate?
|
|
Beyond new user questionaires and validation letters, do you know
|
|
what they look for? What goes through their mind? If you are a sysop
|
|
then you probably know, but if not, then this might help you look
|
|
at it from a different point of view. The following is a small
|
|
letter I recieved in answer to that question. Think about it.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
I get alot of people asking me how I validate, and why I care so
|
|
much about it. It may just be me, but I think that a user should have
|
|
to 'earn' has access, and it is not given to him. I like this because
|
|
it give users more respect for the board, and makes them understand
|
|
that access is a priviledge, not a right. It also gives me a better
|
|
idea of who I am dealing with. Alot of people claim that I have an
|
|
'elitist' additude, but they are just pissed because they can't get
|
|
an account.
|
|
Another reason I do it is because I think BBSing is getting really
|
|
lame. New people start daily, and it just seems that CyberSpace is being
|
|
corrupted by assholes, and other people that act like they run the place.
|
|
I would tell them to fuck off, but I am too nice for that. I guess this
|
|
is what I am tring to say. I am trying to make a haven for people that
|
|
have been around a while, and know what they are doing, to not have to
|
|
endure the same old bullshit, and be able to chat with users that they
|
|
can't on other places. If that makes me an 'elitist', then fuck you.
|
|
Why should a user have more respect for my board then another?
|
|
Well, considering that I have over 5000 files, and lots of other stuff
|
|
that only my board has in this area code. I also have alot of LD
|
|
callers that pay for their charges, and they deserve a decent chance
|
|
to get on. They also don't need to see the local BS that is on all
|
|
the other BBSes.
|
|
|
|
When I validate, the first thing I do is look where they are calling
|
|
from. I have more respect for a user that is paying for the charges. If
|
|
they say they are calling LD, then I check out the AC with the City they
|
|
claim to be calling from. If they don't match, I delete them on the spot.
|
|
Then I look at the New User Information. I look at where they got the
|
|
NUP, and if it is a board, or net, I try to remember posting something
|
|
like that. If It is a person, I attempt to mail them, to ask where they
|
|
got it from.
|
|
Then I look at the boards they use as references, and if they exist.
|
|
If they do exist, then I try to call them within the month to check. If
|
|
they are dipshits, and but boards with numbers like XXX-PRI-VATE, I will
|
|
delete them on the spot.
|
|
I look at how many users they claim that they have been modeming. I
|
|
like users that have been around, simply because I don't have to answer
|
|
alot of stupid questions. (I really hate 'Where are the GaMeZ D0oD?')
|
|
If they run a board, I make an attempt to call it within the month,
|
|
just to make sure. I also look at what software they run, the more complex,
|
|
the more it proves they know. (WWiV is not complex)
|
|
Then I look at the ancroyms. I see how many of them they knew, and
|
|
how many they skipped/bullshited. The more they BSed on, the more it counts
|
|
against them, it just shows what assholes they are. If they left some blank,
|
|
it shows that they are willing to admit that they don't know something.
|
|
Then I look at the felonious activities that they claim to be involved
|
|
in. I see if they know what they are talking about. I have more respect for
|
|
a CyperCriminal. I dunno, I just thinks it shows that they are smart enough
|
|
to do it, and not get caught.
|
|
Next I look at the groups they claim to be affiliated with. I try to
|
|
find some info on this group somewhere, like what they do, how large they,
|
|
are, etc. I almost always delete people that are stupid, and put things like
|
|
'Fox Kids Club' --- Thats just stupid.
|
|
I then look at what they want from the board. If they want warez or
|
|
games, it doesn't count against them, but I do mail them informing them
|
|
that I don't have anything like that. If they have nothing to offer, odds
|
|
are they will be on a ratio of some sort.
|
|
Then I look at the validation. I just look at it, and see what they have
|
|
to say. Sometimes, some people just come off cool, and I will raise there Sl
|
|
for it.
|
|
The last thing I do is to see if I can remember the user slamming the
|
|
board in the past. Hypocrites suck so I delete them.
