It seems so got caught on the april fool. That KYC thing is just an april fool.
So don't take it seriously, its a joke to release our stress, so just enjoy and do anything like always.

I was really surprise at first when I saw it, so what many people were saying is true, that it is April fool. I just saw that it is no longer there.

I think you provide proof of your KYC, first you can also maintain a good name in this forum, and also to prevent many account users.

Yes, it is for our own safety because there will be no scammer anymore in this forum if KYC required.
Oops, seems like you take the the April joke from theymos seriously Shocked

I think bitcointalk will be always a good forum, even with or without KYC.

Many people are so serious with their lives, try not to be serious everyday and do throw some jokes. Anyway, you have nothing to worry about if you’re working on this forum well. I believe we have all nothing to hide for not unless you have so many identity. Cheesy

He should have read the items to be filled first before creating this thread. Just reading the details will make you think that something is wrong with this picture. But if you are too serious with your life, then this kind of humour will not strike you.

although this is an April Fool, but if it is properly enforced, I strongly agree. because if it is implemented, then this forum will be much safer and more controlled and can reduce the alt account. let's apply Kyc because this is one step towards an improvement in the quality of this forum.

It's quite funny that some people got caught in the April 1st norm. Imagine waking up so early in the morning and the first thing that comes to your mind, is something that may pop up from your heart, because it was unexpectedly.
I knew so many things would happen today, so I already told myself that, I will not get carried away and be caught by the April 1st things.

Why is it so difficult for people to just understand a simple joke? Just by opening the KYC form tells you that this is a joke. Please sometimes take your time to read through everything before creating a post thread. But anyway if you want to find answers to this question, visit the meta section of this forum. All the answers are there. Happy April fool's day to you all.

It is just a big joke ,
It is just Theymos having fun on the forum every April 1 he would do something to make fun and celebrate the April Fool's Day.
So just relax this year he really fooled a lot of member and I am one of those who got fooled by this prank Grin

.

I wonder how many users here really submit those info to him. Grin

Upon reading the details that you need to submit, you will wonder that it is only a prank. If you do not forget the date today, April Fool's will be the first one you will think of this commotion.

KYC will sooner or later need a Bitcointalk, as this will make it better. Scammers and spammers will be less, and this is not all the benefits.

I hope is really April fool joke because I almost fall for it,this joke is too expensive,I was shock when I saw it and this should be look into for a better forum.

Believe me, if bitcointalk leads this verification rate, it will lose more than half of its members. In addition, the leadership of the forum will never pursue such a policy, since it is unprofitable for them.

Why we should all get a headache with this requirement? I have seen the same concern all in the forum today. This is a perfect joke made on April fool. But I guess the administration is actually thinking of this. Hopefully this will not happen. And I have read mixed reactions to this April fool 'joke', both positive and negative. Public opinion is needed on this topic I think.

Go ask theymos himself. Anyway, you can directly send him private message if you want to get the answer. For now, just follow what he wants us to do to avoid any conflict or else you can go quit posting in the forum.

They are basically saying its an april fools joke but it is not impossible that for now on, bitcoin talk will going to implement this system to verify the accounts. Well, indeed I can say it is still commended as a precaution for people with multiple accounts, be alert to be honest nowadays, use one account to be prepared for this.

Yeah sure, no way that they won't consider to implement KYC for real. This is a forum for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. A lot of the people are here because they value their privacy and don't want the government or big companies to have all their data.

Yes he actually put the joke on us and the joke got many bitcointalk users including myself, it was until my friend told me he thinks it is april fool that i now relax because it wouldnt have been funny if it is true, hundreds of people would have been kicked out owing to the fact they wont release their information

It's an April fool joke and a reminder that the forum would never go on to acquire personal information of people that may be misused.
It also makes us cautious about whom we are sending our personal data and for what uses. If such information gets into the wrong hands, even if you are a law abiding person, some other can be doing illegal activities in the disguise of your identity.

I think this will be a good spam thread because April fool thread was pinned in KYC required form. So once you submit directly it will move to next process in that thread but everything is just for fun. So better you should lock this thread because many useless posts are increase this thread. If you want to make fun you can move to Off topic.

Well theymos decided to add KYC probably because it is the trend. He even made an announcement thread about this implementation. Do not forget to check his thread to guide you on how to fill-up those forms and it also needs an extra verification by requiring you to provide your photo in your reply on that thread.

Don't sulk, its not that bad and you will find it entertaining while filling up the form.
