Dealing With Sock Accounts Etc

MoarVideo currently logs EVERY movement on our website, even though this is just a project website. If you are here with good intent then this shouldn't concern you. We only know what you are doing while on this website.

One of the biggest complaints vloggers speak of on video sharing websites is hate and harassment. This won't be tolerated on MoarVideo.com and our security and privacy features will be so much more tighter than here or on any other video sharing website on the internet. Obviously we will launch Phase 1 and then take your feedback so that we can make things tighter for Phase 2 and so on.

If you are stalked then you will be able to approach us and we will assist the authorities if you wish to take some kind of formal action, subject of course to legalities on providing such data. Basically if there's a police investigation, then we would assist them fully.

I have plenty of interest from the butthurt. For example, this is one of my regulars:

91.108.91.195 - Orange Home Broadband - Mac OS X - Safari 3.1 - Resolution 1680 x 1050 - customer7100.pool1.Bristol-AVN0950-BAS0001.orangehomedsl.co.uk

As you can see they are in the UK using Orange as their internet service provider. They are using a Mac and the Safari browser. Their screen resolution is 1680 x 1050. According to the IP address they are in Bristol but locations can sometimes be off target. Further investigations if needed can pinpoint the exact location. However "customer7100" is the key here - that is the EXACT customer i.e. Orange, their ISP, have that client's name and address, point of connection etc.

Basically when someone is here for the wrong reasons, behind the scenes we are logging things for your safety. This helps weeds out idiots and sock accounts. Can you imagine LV admin doing that? Well we have a continuous feed of data that is monitored 24/7.

There is absolutely nothing to be concered about if you access the site for the right reasons. All websites can monitor your information, the only difference is, we monitor in real time so that we can quickly identify idiots. That means you get a better website with hopefully less disruption.

When MV launches we will have an even more robust security system in place for tracking and banning people who want to spoil your time online. Anyone who registers using a proxy (to try and hide their IP address) will have their account denied/deleted.

At this time no other user or admin on MV can see your IP address.
