New Registering Screen on AW Website (Wishlist)
New Registering Screen on AW Website // Wishlistssl.Nov 13, 2003, 12:00am
It'd be great if aw had a registration page when people (new btw) want to
join active worlds. This would greatly reduce -unknown- 0 cit names in awnewbie and hack about 96% of deleters in it. The resgistration page would be just an advanced log in screen really. ie.. Welcome to theActive Worlds Universe! before you may begin using our FREE software, please follow the registration following. Log in name_____________ Log in password__________ <> Male <> Female Age <> 10 to 13 <> 13 to 18 <> 18 and above [SUBMIT] after this the page will close, then following a silent save of all your settings in some new folder activeworlds can make when registering. then it would query the info over to a brand new Reg Server ( which by now the computer (client) would copy the data in the folder (btw, aw can have some new privacy file type for security against hacking) and it would save and respond back whether the name was already taken etc..etc..and allow them in. Every time they log in aw, aw ( client) would check its file and compare with aw ( server) and compare the 2 and see if any changes have occured. if so the server could say IE An error has occured in our databank or in your computer :reg.data does not match reg.data on server: please make sure you have not done any changes in your registration information. =DDD oh..btw, when they register the server will send additional data into the reg.data on YOUR and ITS databank,which would of course be the registration number of the tourist and can be tracked and viewed ONLY by personel of aw and those who require it. ( security deal with aw....) IE... C:\Activeworlds/Registration/reg.data < l: Martha Stewart99 2:passwordofmartha,*********** 3: 2 <<< 1=guy..2=female....>>> 4: 3 << 3 being 18 and above>>> regini:13235234232 like i mentioned above all this would be stored in some new aw file type. of course everyone will have to do this registration when its released..(theoretically speaking) Any comments or grudges against my Wish? ;D bowen ten.sardna@newobNov 13, 2003, 12:18am
Honestly? It's easier to just ask someone their age and have them lie
about it then "lie" on this crazy server registration thing and stuff. -- --Bowen-- http://bowen.homelinux.com Give me ideas. johnNov 13, 2003, 9:21am

It's irrelevant. AW cannot legally collect registration data from anyone
under the age of 13. Ryan [View Quote] kahNov 13, 2003, 1:12pm

AW is under US law ..they cannot accept registration information from
anyone who is under thirteen, regardless of what country they are in. Ryan [View Quote] ferruccioNov 14, 2003, 2:33am
just like how it is illegal for a U.S. software company to distribute games
with blood/gore in them to Germany. every company has to follow the laws of any country they distribute their product in. bowen ten.sardna@newobNov 14, 2003, 2:45am

No, the internet has changed all of that. Now since you can order games
online, there's no way to enforce it. Now, buying the game is a different story, most likely the Duty officials will confisicate it. As for distrubuting the product physically in Germany, I don't believe the blood/gore rule applies. I think you're talking about the NAZI/Swastika law in games -- which is why Day of Defeat is the way it is. Not to mention that Germany has one of the top Counter-Strike players in the world, so obviously they got a game with blood/gore in it somehow. -- --Bowen-- http://bowen.homelinux.com Give me ideas. ferruccioNov 14, 2003, 5:20am
you can smoke a cuban cigar in the united states, but it is illegal to
distribute them. but yeah there are ways to get around it, but I doubt that AWI would transgress the laws of whatever country it has customers in (it probably already has inadvertently, but nobody is whiny enough to call their government) ssl.Nov 14, 2003, 10:40pm
Meh..i guess you guys are right. it was just an idea. to prevent those
damned deleter cases every day in awnewbie. [View Quote] kahNov 15, 2003, 1:40pm

The blood/gore stuff is so that you have to either remove gore, make it green or something, or they put an 18 year age limit or something on it. They don't completely ban the game. What I meant earlier was that AWI should move to Iraq, that way they wouldn't be under any laws. KAH bowen ten.sardna@newobNov 15, 2003, 3:58pm

In 99% of games on the market, you can turn it off. -- --Bowen-- http://bowen.homelinux.com Give me ideas. |
