Paypal does verify your name, through the bank account. If you attempt to use an account that has someone else's name on it then it gets kicked back as not being a legitimate account and the verification fails.

Ebay does the same thing. You have to verify who you are with a bank card/checking account and if the names don't match then your out of them.

The difference here is, to use all features of Paypal you have to be verified. Yes, you can have people send you money and paypal will send see more you a check for those funds. But if you want to buy stuff with funds that are in your paypal account, you must be verified. Realized that the other day when the card I had on Paypal had expired and they forced me to update the information or I could not pay an invoice via Paypal.

In the end, Boonex isn't asking for bank card information, no Social Security Numbers, No addresses and so on. They are inviting you to share your name, if you choose to not do that then they feel certain parts of the site should not be open to you. After all, if your not open with Boonex why should Boonex be open with you.

As far as trust goes, a few months ago Boonex gave everyone free licesenses in hopes they would contribute something to Boonex. There was no, make the contribution and get the license, it was done with an understanding of trust. If you did not donate they did not rip the licenses from you, they understood.

Now I don't know of anyone who told Boonex they didn't want the licenses, but I know all did not contribute as some just could not afford to. But I do know that all are using those licenses instead of running ads on their sites.

In the end, people need to just get over it. This is an evolution of the Boonex Software you have chosen to run. If you don't like it, then don't participate in that part of the sites functions. However, everyone is great at complaining/whining/screaming about what goes on at Expertzzz, this is a way of correcting that issue...

Oh yeah, it's great to whine about others just as long as the door doesn't open to reveal who you are... Right...

Please do not take this to a personal level and accuse people of whining, when they are merely expressing their opinion. Yours is valid and I respect it.

I wasn't as clear as I wanted to be with the paypal/ebay examples. They do verify that the names submitted are indeed the proper ones with the authority to authorize transaactions on given accounts. They do not require my name to be visible in order to use the sites to their fullest.

I have no problem with requiring a first name and see more last name on a site, it is completely at the whim of the person running the site and I can choose to be a part of it, not be a part of it, or submit an anonymous name. I am not whining, nor should I be accused of it.

My point is, how does Unity plan on verifying somebody's name, and what is the reasoning behind it? If I'm not mistaken, the method of completing transactions are handled by a third party, where proper verification has been made.
