    Default bring change to hosting section to prevent scammers

    hi,

    I see it nowadays, that it is more common for people to be "scammed" with hosts.

    Can we prevent any of this by somehow working out a good plan to solve this.
    There must be a way.

    It really is hard for new webmasters to find a decent host, which they know will not die next month.
    I think at KWWH we must make that easy.

    So if anyone can think of a good idea to overcome this, it will be awesome for everyone

    thanks

    edit: as so many people even little kids are making hosts, but we can't see how it all comes out, for that only I requested this thread

    How about a rule which allow hosts that are in business for 2+ years to sell on KWWHunction?

    This is discussion only, we will come to conclusions in the staff section but we do consider our members opinions when discussing and/or adding/removing rules.

    @Hawk, By what you just said does that mean all Hosts who have already got threads and have only been hosting less than 2 years will be removed OR is it to prevent new Hosts from making threads

    We would apply it to all hosts that post after the date the rule is introduced. For the hosts that are exempt from the rule, maybe as CameronS stated, an age check? Showing passport details maybe, drivings license etc? Obviously, all that information would be held confidentially. Most companies usually publicise their registered business address (if they're registered within the UK/Wales).

    I think an age check would be nice (like ID check), if someone's only fifteen I probably wouldn't want to buy servers with them, as there is a huge lack of stable income for server expenses (unless they just resell).

    Doing that would be stupid, People here aren't going to upload their personal details to random people over the internet.

    We would be uploading our details to one of you. We don't know you, we have never met you. You could be capable of anything.

    There's other ways of posting proof like that and that's through mail. All you need is a confirmation letter and they can upload that.

    All fairness I'm 33, I have enough money coming in to support DragonHost itself. on the other hand you need to make sure every hoster is over the age of 22+. This is because of the lack of jobs in the UK.

    It sounds stupid but being 16 or 18 makes not difference because you have the same job opportunities at that age. Most hosters on here are probably claiming JSA.

    If you're a company you should verify it.
    You don't want to give your ID to staff, yet you expect random people over the internet to send you money?!

    Edit:

    But to be clear, I also think KWWH shouldn't get involved as JGM says.

    ??
    For you getting rid of scammers is equal to what the MPAA is doing?!
    MPAA ARE SCAMMERS.

    We're discussing only, and believe it or not I think some other boards do that

    so what if other boards do that, KWWHunction is not that other board.

    It's up to the members of KWWHunction to know what their doing when it comes to picking a provider for their website.
