Topic: KYC IN THE BITCOINTALK FORUM: April Fool - page 4. (Read 868 times)
Nice joke but I am sure that some people from different countries don't have enough sense of humor to understand it and they are feeling kind of puzzled now reading that .
Refresh web page, suddenly I saw that it's display KYC is now required! But a few second later, I noticed that today is 1st April, it's just a joke 
Happy April Fool's Day to everyone
Happy April Fool's Day to everyone
Am not sure if it’s april fool or some joke
But it doesn’t clean the forum; it is only going to frustrate users who can’t afford to get kyc information
I personally avoid bounty projects with kyc cos I have not the required id
How can I survive if this forum requires one too

This April fool makes us think about what could be a regulated internet. At first, i didn't know if it was a joke or not. But after looking at the other topic and posts, it confirms it.
I see this as a good improvement, because it will likely reduce the fake accounts, but however there are some requirements that are not suppose to be made compulsory, because what may be required in some countries are used in some other countries. For instance, in my country, if you work for a company and the company pays tax, you are not require to pay tax differently, the company tax covers yours.
Are you seeing what am seeing? KYC is now required! In order to continue using the forum, submit your KYC information
am i dreaming?wake me up please,waooo, this will surely clean up the forum.
Personally,i have been expecting this for a very long time,now is coming,the forum is messed up and we need clean up,this might caused some people a headache for a long time to come,Great news.What do you think? April Fool.

The current KYC information on the forum still tickle many forum members because many are just experiencing April fool in the first time on the forum, so, nothing is expected from such forum member than panic. Calm it down its just an April fools KYC, don't upload your real face like i have readily done.

I didn't even click the link because its common sense that on April 1st you would hear these types of pranks.
Even if you forgot that it was April 1st you need to think "Why would a forum need KYC", makes no sense. If it was a bitcoin casino then it would get suspicious.
Either way after reading the form that you need to fill out, which was very hilarious it should be quite easy to tell its a funny joke.
Hopefully nobody took it seriously.

Hahaha... I freezed where I was asked to submit my partners contacts and they might be contacted lol.. I thought that was the end of it until I was asked to submit all credit card details, then I said this was the hight of it and I am done hahaha.. Happy new month guys
I don't think it's true ! Who will share his credit card credentials ?
What a way to start the day,this is indeed April fool,but i guess many are cut unaware especially those that have not been part of this before like last year.
The best first April joke for today. First of all, I think I trapped on some kind of fishing website 
Nice one. I almost got an heart attack when I saw the kyc requirement in red. Glad to know its just a joke. Happy April Fools day to everyone on the bitcointalk forum
Nice move @bitcointalk forum, you guys sure know how to shake strong guys like me ,I fell for it in the first place ,no doubts but when i click on the link I started laughing.
Of course its april fool joke. Why would Theymos be doing it to us when he knows it will kill the forum in the end. An ICO asking for KYC is already causeing an uproar from the investors how much more if all of us are going to be required to send our documents. I wasn't really laughing when I first saw it but I carefully check what is to be filled and then went to the Meta section where we mostly discuss forum related subjects and then I saw its actually a April fools joke.
I love April fools. Keep fooling guys but make sure to make the forum clean. Read first to make sure that you will not lost your way.
Happy April fools again to all of us.

When I opened the BitCointalk forum this morning, I was immediately shocked, I think this is a feature that we must fulfill. but I don't want to tell you what the results are. Please fill in all of the for and see what will happen. This forum always surprises and that's why we all feel comfortable lingering here. Let's contribute and provide the best, we can provide information that we know to be a material for other people who need knowledge.
surprised, that was the first thing I felt. The requested KYC is very much. even more than the KYC requested by some large exchangers, but some people have said it is only a joke this April.
believe in not believing I am waiting for tomorrow to follow up.

Are you guys sure it's April fool I feel it a bit because the form is asking for too many delicate docs that a normal KYC form shouldn't ask. I do hope it's April fool though.
This forum does some April fool day's prank every year. It is usually something funny. In the year of KYC for bounties, KYC for the forum sounded very creative and funny.
Loool: Your Credit card number, three numbers on the back as well as the expiration month and year
