Just want to know what was your feeling when you have seen forum asking for KYC verification? Let's share your honest review.

The discussion on this issue has escalated at least a week before April 1. Therefore, I am sure that users who remember at least last years fool were awaiting such news. I think this phrase definitely dispelled any doubts.

However, such 2FA listed in the roadmap of the Epochtalk forum, that has not been launched, and still been in the testing phase.

In addition to the usual types of authentication, the document "Central philosophy" also provided support for OpenID, PGP, OpenVPN, automatic creation of subnets + IP source verification and Bitcoin signature (so on).

It means KYC is the last one in the security hyerarchy, and it is an optional security method.
Someone who have demands to secure their account at the highest level, let's do their KYCs.

Talking about KYC would make sense if the administration would act as an intermediary in transactions between users. Moreover, the requested data clearly violates the user's right to privacy. In any case, this is not only unlikely, but also impossible. And for the current needs of this version of the forum, there are enough already implemented restrictions and security features.

As an alternative, a limit of merits has been added for new accounts. There are also restrictions for posting messages. (This happens when the user's IP address matches the temperature of all the subnets containing this IP address, the address is removed from the white list, a fixed fee automatically returns IP to the white list).
