Voice numbers: Are They Really Necessary? March 5, 1987
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A recent series of events on ShadowSpawn BBS has attracted much attention in
the hack/phreak community. It seems that the sysop, The Psychic Warlord,
denied access to Lex Luthor, Kerrang Khan, and Silver Spy because of their
failure to leave valid voice phone numbers. The following messages have been
taken from ShadowSpawn BBS. [Some posts have been re-formatted].

32/50: This board...
Name: The Psychic Warlord #1
Date: 6:36 pm Thu Feb 26, 1987

Alright goddamn it, I'm so fucking pissed off that I'm just about ready to
say Fuck It and take down the board for good. Why? Seems that few people are
happy with the way I run this board. No, not really with the way I run it,
but more like the way I choose to validate my users. Ok, fine... You don't
like it then get the fuck out and quit complaining.

I set certain rules that people have to abide by to get access to this
board. Very simple fucking rules. And now I'm finding out that people don't
want to abide by these rules, and basically tell me I'm fucked in the head for
having and going by them. What rules? For one thing, and this is the major
bitch-point here, new users (no matter WHO THE FUCK they are) are REQUIRED
to leave a valid voice number where I or Ctrl can reach them at for
validation. No big fucking deal... Just a goddamn phone number.

"Oh, but I can't give you my voice number. I'm a hacker, and I do untold
amounts of illegal things and I can't risk my number getting out." Riiight.
Like I'm really some fucking Fed who's gonna bust yer ass, or some geek who
gives out peoples phone numbers to any-fucking-body who asks. BULLSHIT!

I'm the Sysop of a (hopefully) respected BBS, and along with that goes a
certain responsibility. I'm not about to go passing out peoples numbers. I
have respect for other hackers privacy, unlike some people who choose to
invade mine just for the fucking hell of it. I require that new users leave
their voice numbers for a number of GOOD reasons:

1) Trust -- If they can trust me with their voice numbers, then I can trust
them with access to my board. I need that kind of trust between
me and my users. If they feel that they can't trust me enough to
give me a lousy phone number, then how in God's name am I supposed
to be expected to trust them at all?? My ass is on the line just
as much (if not more) than any user of this board!

2) Security -- Ok... So how do I know if someone is really a Fed or not? I
don't! I go by instinct. Having a person's voice number let's
me call them for validation and get to know them a helluva lot
better than I could through e-mail. Plus, if suspicion ever
arose about a user of my board being a Fed or not, how could I
check this out? If I don't have their voice number, I have no
leads as to where to find or who the fuck this person really
is. Now I don't go checking everyone on the board via the
numbers they give me. I have NEVER had to do that for ANY
user, but the possibility is there. And rather than throw a
possibly innocent person off the board merely on a hunch, we
might be able to prove whether or not it's true. This is
extremely hypothetical, but like I said... the possibility is
there.

Ok, so why the hell should I have to require that established people, like
Lex Luthor and Silver Spy, leave valid voice numbers? Is it fair to the other
users? Hell no. If I required only certain people to give me their numbers,
then what does that do to their trust in me?? It's like me saying, "Well, I
don't trust you... I don't know you that well. You have to sacrifice more
than these guys to get access." That's BULLSHIT, and I'm not about to do it.
If one person is required to give a valid voice number, then every damn user
is required to!

I've been getting a lot of shit the past couple days because I've denied
access to some very well known and respected people in the hack/phreak world.
Namely Lex Luthor, Silver Spy, and Kerrang Khan. I denied all of them access
because they all refused to leave a voice number. Fine. Then they don't get
access. Ctrl [Ctrl-C is a cosysop on ShadowSpawn] said I was crazy. Taran
said pretty much the same. Taran also tried to get me to change my mind...
to condescend, or go against what I believe in and how I believe this board
should be run. He (Taran) said that by my denying Lex and the others access
that I would be hurting this board more than helping it. ***I DON'T GIVE A
DAMN***

I'm not impressed in the least with any of those peoples reputations. I
never have been a "groupie" and I'm not about to start now. Whether or not
they are good or not isn't the issue here, and some people don't seem to
realize that. Yes, Lex is good. He's well known. He's even a nice guy...
I've talked to him before and personally I like him. But I don't play
favorites for anyone. Not Lex, not Silver Spy, and not Kerrang Khan. Nobody.

What really pissed me off, and I should have told Taran that I resented it
at the time, is that TK said that apparently this board is "elite". That I
consider this board to be too good. Personally I think this fucking board is
overrated, and yes Taran... I resented that remark. I can't remember exactly
what he said, but it was something like, "In your logon message you have
'We're not ELITE, we're just cool as hell,' but apparently you ARE elite."

[Well now...isn't that special? And just where did all these people get the

idea to do "injury to the cause of Christ?" From me, Knight Lightning? No, I

don't think so. From oh maybe Phantom Phreaker? No, I don't think so.
