Re: iRacing free one month "demos" for GPL & NR2003 fans

* Offer has been deactivated due to abuse.

You'd think there'd be a way of suspending people

Was this "abuse" explained? Was the "abuse" related to
driver behavior, or where players signing up for repeated
free trials using different aliases (ignoring the
legitimate cases where multiple people share a computer).

What was different with these one month free tria accounts
from the other ones such as the Radical free one month trial
(is that one now also deactivated)?

with daft names

The registration information is poorly worded such that it doesn't
specify that real names are required, and specificy prohibits
providing any personal information about a minor child.

"YOUR REAL NAME (or a variation of your name, such as your name
followed by a numeral) WILL BE DISPLAYED TO OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICE,
AND YOU HEREBY CONSENT TO SUCH DISPLAY. THIS INCLUDES DISPLAY OF YOUR
NAME WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS TAKEN AGAINST YOU AS FURTHER
DESCRIBED IN THE SPORTING CODE. The purpose of displaying members' real
names is to create accountability to discourage members from engaging
in disruptive activity. IF YOU ARE AUTHORIZING A MINOR CHILD TO USE THE
SERVICE, YOU MUST NOT PROVIDE TO IRACING.COM ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION
ABOUT SUCH CHILD."

Based on this, anyone subscribing for a minor child is going to
use a "daft" name.

Also the wording only mentions that your real name or variation will
be "displayed to others". Nothing in that clause states that a real
name is a requirement for registering for an account, so some
people are going to use "variations".

Many know that fictitious names can be used with Pay Pal accounts,
but it's also possible to add authorized users with fictitious names
to existing credit card accounts.
