This is worth addressing....
The reason we have more stringent requirements now is to protect the moderators and users of this site - some of whom were targeted and threatened in their personal lives by other users of this site.
So now we require some personal identification so that we know who is signing up and have some recourse if/when that type of stuff happens.
Hope us wanting to protect ourselves and the users of the site is fine with you.
And with that we are done....
