What the hell is up with Corps wanting screenshots of your Login Screen?? I just got booted from my corp because I wouldn't comply with that request. ________________________________

Probably because they want to know who your alts are. ---

Why not? Because in all the years I've been playing online, I've never seen, nor heard of, an honorable reason for asking for such a thing. ________________________________

Like you where told earlier, so they know who your alts are, and less likley you are a spy. Doesent stop people who have multiple acounts obviously, but makes it less likley you are a spy toon.
Thats honorable, and its not an unusual request... i have been asking people for that as long as i can remember.

I know people do this, I think it's stupid and crap policy. I'd never join a corp that makes you do this. But hey what do I know (not much).

Because security in a game riddled with spies, scammers, and corp theifs (both their generic and GHSC mastermind forms) is paramount and if your not willing do to it your pretty much labeling yourself as a possible spy or worse.
I see no problem with this, as a CEO I'd sure as hell ask for it.

My corp asked for a screen of my login screen to see if i had any pirate alts, my corp has a strict no pirate rule, you start allowing players with pirate alts its quick for your corp to loose respect etc etc. Its a fair request.

The "honorable reason" is that by asking for a screenshot you try to protect your corp from "dishonorable new members".

So you are saying you would rather join a corp thats badly managed and has crap security? one thats got a greater chance of having spies in it and sleeper thieves etc?
hmmm.. ok.

Just photoshop your login screeny to a point where only your portrait and name are real. And imho, asking for a login screenshot instantly creates an atmosphere of distrust. I will never join an org. that asks me for a login screen, coz if they don't trust me, then why should I trust them.

When i applied for my job, i had to show proof of address, proof of ID, proof of nationality, sign more paperwork than i did for my last mortgage, and undergo extensive background checks.
Doesent mean i dont trust my boss...
if you dont get why people ask for this, then you deserve falling victim to such an undesirable, and maybe then after falling victim to it, you might start thinking of ways to ensure you dont suffer it again. If you dont, and carry on as before, then you really DO deserve all you get.
And.. photoshop that screen if you like, and using the same program, i and anyone else who has a clue, can usually tell if you have altered it or not.

Makes no sense to request this, given that you can edit the screenshot in Photoshop so that it looks you only have the one character, for example.

Eh I can have a fake screenshot in about 5 min and that does not even cover my other X accounts that I will have just to be a spy for other corps if I was a spy in the first play

i'd rather join a corp that wasn't so serious and was fun. I've been playing since release and I recently left some things because some people's seriousness was choking all the fun out of the GAME

Do you know what also chokes all the fun out of the game? Getting your corp destroyed by an alt thief.

A long time ago I had the displeasure of the corp being ripped off by a corp theif. It was more fun than having someone halfway across the world telling me what I can and can't do.

If you are in that kind of corporation, you may want to look at some of the other ones in the game. Seriously, if i felt that being in a corporation was like a daytime job, i would not bother with them. This game is about having fun and doing what you want to do in it, not what they want to do in it.
When what the corp want and you want is the same, you have found a good corp for you.
And about screenshots... this is because of fear of corp scammers, yes. Im not sure how easy it is to fake a screenshot that looks real even when you examine the pixels at very close range.

Well, ive made the mistake of staying with a corp i didnt like before, and i regret it alot these days. I could have stayed in eve and been a 3 year old character now. 
Anyways, i will try to make a fake login screenshot. Then i will post pictures of both the real one and the fake one and see who can spot the fake. Ill do this tonight, i need to delete some characters first and it will take 10 hours.  --- The Eve Wiki Project |

Edited by: Tristan on 07/05/2006 08:09:37 you wouldnt have ten hours in game....
anyway, zooming in isnt the best way, though it will oft spot a forgery, not always.
/me points at the filter menu
And Benco, if thats what you want to do with the game, thats cool. Thats why the game allows for freelancers, which is what you just described. Dont want to do what your corp does and just want to sit in empire mining veld, go for it. knock yerself out.
Which is also why you wont ever take part in proper fleet combat, take over territory, blow up a POS, build your own POS, etc etc... yknow, the REAL fun content in the game.

Tbh, taking a shot of you charscreen is not enought, if you wanna make sure you want to make screenshots of transactions screen (more specific isk transfers to other chars and isk transfers over trades, that way they se if you transfer alot of isk to other "alts" on other accounts)..
this is good, cuz you dont want a corp to not care about such things. And the next time you are at a mining op with corpfriends, his 5 secret alts comes in and *****you, or steal whatever is left in the corp hangar.

That screen would possibly be easier to edit than the login screen. Just copy some rows from previous dates (in photoshop) and paste over the lines you dont want to show.

I am with the people who say its unreasonable.
you'll never catch me in a corp that requires such a thing to join at all.
now, to after a while be promoted... like when you get a job, "assuming the drug test comes back fine, you've got a job" I don't expect to have direct acess to jack right off. if after I've been around a while, those who say so, feel like promoting me, then I'd MAYBE consider it. I'd happily share my trained characters, but it'd take some real convincing to give a screenshot like that.
and if I got the suspicion it was authentically not trusting me, rather than being a formality for show... I'd either have to be getting some SERIOUS benefits for going along with it... or I'd be out.
oh, and under no circumstances would the amount of money I have be shown, and no screenshots of my personal assets. not a chance. period. if theres any reason for it to be known like that I would volunteer it on my own.

you wouldn't share anything. A persons account infomation and password are not shown in the login screen. The one and only purpose is to show who your alts are if you have any.

If you don't like the way the corp operates then you're in the wrong corp. If there has been a theft because someone is a 2-faced lying git and *you* are the only one refusing to help with the security checks - that's going to look pretty suss eh? Corps who aren't careful with who they let in get ripped off. Simple as that. Smart corps take measures to stop that.

Some people really must have a lot to hide if you get so up tight about such a trivial matter. I would happily comply at a moments notice, or more honestly I would just expect such a measure from any corp I was applying to even if I had a wealth of positive references or knew the guys in real life.
Being in a corp with active real members who are there to committ themselves fully to the corp, and not full of the alt play toys of bored main characters, is probably the most important thing.

I can understand his point. This logic is used by Bush too... "if you have nothing to hide, why do you object to being monitored by us?".
