If real names had to be unique, how many numbers would be in your name? 🤔
We should just give everyone a first name and a uuid.
Four names (Two first names and two family names) plus place of birth should, on its own, rule out any probability of sharing the same exact name with anyone. No need for numbers.
I think I saw there should be a couple hundred of me, per the census data.
Baby gets depressed, goes to suicide prevention site; since he has no account he can’t provide email so he is locked out.
Writes message in a helpful chat provided, responds to the mod and is then lifetime banned and blocked for harassment.
Sigh, may as well play a game on his phone, right? Oops, game needs an update.
Game can’t update because his OS needs an update.
Clicks OS update button, phone bricks
I feel this shit in my bones.
“Due to repeated login failures, this account has been locked. Please try again in 96 hours.”
“Alright, back inside you go…”
“Just a quick adventure, Morty. In and out in 20 minutes, tops.”
Semi-related:
I am, as of last year, completely banned from Ebay. No I cannot make a new account, according to the help person on the phone, they will just ban that account. It is a permanent ban.
It came as a complete shock to me since I hadn’t used Ebay in literally years. Apparently there was a strange login from somewhere up in Nottingham that flew under my radar, but other than that no info.
I’ve called them asking for more information on how to re-instate the account, and more importantly – what exactly I am supposed to have done to have been banned so harshly. Nothing, no answers, they just repeat verbatim the strange login from Nottingam, and that’s it. Their records do not go back more than a year apparently
There’s nothing I can do about it. It’s this weird Kafka-esque situation where I’m being punished for a crime done in my name that absolutely no one can tell me about.
The good news is that if their records don’t go back more than a year, then you can just wait a year and create an account. They’ll have no idea who you are!
Well no they know my name and address and phone number, just not any details relating to my account.
I would have to switch number and probably address and be very careful with my name when using them in the future
Gdpr removal requests?
Sounds shady. Prolly for the best they banned you.
Ebay really acting like theyre the only game in town.
Ebay banned 5 of my accounts (most very likely for vpn). When contacted support they were like “you have been permanently banned, we won’t reinstate your account, we won’t tell you why, you cannot evade this ban”
Maybe that’s what happened to me! I had an eBay account I used like once, not even sure if I bought anything I think I just logged in to look at stuff, and I got banned later. Maybe they thought I was suspicious due to VPN use and not adding payment details to my account, but like I got no response and had to make another account.
One of the reasons that I like owning my domain, is that I can just make another account. ebay2@somedomain.com, and I’m back to buying.
Dont they check your postal address too?
I dunno about ebay specifically, as they haven’t banned my account. But I meant this more about websites in general. My experience is that they could just look at the name on my credit-card and realize that I’m the same person, but they don’t. I’m sure there are exemptions.
That’s what I’m worried about, but good to hear they might not be clocking onto it
I dealt with something similar with Discord once. It was infuriating. These companies often contract out this type of responsibility, and nobody has any incentive to care or spend any time with any individual case, so you can just be completely cut off.
Is this the moment You sign up for capitalism? Because I don’t remember ever agreeing to that.
By breathing Airos®, “Breath better now… Ahhh…”, you agree to the terms and conditions to the rest of the Terms of Service (which, for the rest of the document, will be referred to as TOS).
You should check the documentation in your local capitalist agency office for when you signed up. Maybe your minimum term is soon ending.
I didn’t sign no doggone social contract
That guy aged so much in 1 minute.
Captcha: click every image that has a bus in it.
Baby: What the fuck is a bus?
Baby: Also what the fuck is “click”, “every”, “image”, “that”, “has”, “a”, “in”, “it”, “what”, “the”, “fuck”, “is”, “also”, and “and”?
Baby probably doesn’t even realize it’s a participant and not just an observer yet.
“Fuck that, I’m living off the grid!”
