I influenced my cousin to have an LJ account - not that I'm keen to updating but hey, it worked. And I know that there had been issues about mature content here a few months ago but I never thought that this is how they resolved it. O.O
So here we were, unknowingly creating a new LJ account and then we see this age verification thing saying that even though my cousin was thirteen years old above, the computer we were using had previously created an account that didn't pass their age requirement thing. And they wanted us to either verify her age using a credit card or by mailing to them a copy of a government issued photoID or her birth certificate.
Talk about being paranoid.
I know people have lied about their age, but hey that's not our problem. And saying that the computer we were using had previously registered an account is bull. I bet they always say it to new users. Well, of course we didn't have any other choice but to email them her driver's license since she absolutely do not trust any web page to give out her credit card number.
Well, I don't really have a problem with that, see, if I had a major problem with their policy then I wouldn't be in LJ right now. I wonder if all the 6apart blog sites are the same.
Hmmm.... Oh well, I'd say welcome to my cousin in LJ nonetheless. Hopefully, she's more of an updater than I am.
