Forum Member Dilemma

[Mark17]

I have used fake names on websites I didn't originally plan to spend much time with - and I would call it an "alias" rather than a fake name. So that is plausible to me. I use Norton, and one of the websites I signed up with was hacked and my password used for that site is exposed. Fortunately for me, I use a different password for every site I sign up with, but some people don't. Anyway, it makes me tread cautiously when I want to explore a site new to me and right away I'm being asked a bunch of identifying questions.

Having said that, I fully understand why Leon needs to do this. And I wouldn't do deals with people without using my real name.

So... the registration issue is not something I'd hold against him, given his several problem-free transactions and the fact he later provided his real name.

The tape/crack is also a non-issue to me. Mistakes happen and no fraud or hint of it occurred. I'd let him stay.

I do not think this person should be banned.

The idea of using a different name to sign up and check the site out is definitely plausible as is not going back and changing it again. I don't see a hint of bad intent there.

Same with the story about the slab. Doesn't come across at all like there was any intent to deceive or do something dubious.

I think we can all agree that nobody, including everybody on here, is perfect. Let's not expect the same of someone else. If the user has multiple good deals in the past and this is the one hang up, then let him back in.

Based on his previous good history, I think he should be allowed to remain.

I can sympathize with using a dummy name at registration. Its something that I imagine many people do before trying out a new site.
