So yeah, I'm the noob of the week, but I was wondering how ya'll control peeps getting on here with a ride they don't own? Is there a verification system or some features you can't access until you prove the ride is yours?

Thanks!

Its happened a couple times that people take pics from ebay or other sites and claim the cars. J is really good about removing them though.

The truth always comes out in the end...

I thought about this.. but alot of people dont have digital cams or they wanna post pics of their old car. Kinda hard to prove that an older car was yours.

Oh, and pay no attention to the '07 Shelby Cobra I'm about to add - it's mine... no really! http://www.rankmyride.com/images/s_/16.gif

Yeah, so far I haven't seen it as in issue here. :w00t:

I busted one person on here doing it and J took care of it! The sad thing is, I beat the guy in a face-off and the car he posted was a 2001 Bullitt with $65,000 worth of mods :devil:

Who really cares? I figure there have to be some 13 year old kids masquerading as Mustang owners on the board, especially with 3000 plus members. A wannabe Mustang enthusiast with nothing but a bicycle to ride around on is better than a Civic owner any day. I would rather see them be honest though...

So, about my car...Yeah, I built it, and its all mine.

Well, the site I came from had a pretty major problem with it and eventually they required verification pics. Here, I could see posers standing in the way of making top 10 on the leaderboard or something. Now, if no-one was listed in the leaderboard ranking until they completed 5 different ( or even specific ) "the Hunt" categories, it would possibly eliminate posers getting in the way of real rankings.

Anyhow, I was just curious so I could get my ride verified if it were necessary and on to locked features. :)

yeah we just went over this with the chick on myspace claiming the blue cobra was her's...Stupid people, you have to be really insecure and jealous to claim something as yours. :loser:

heh - I saw loads of that on the other site, but the motivation was to get rank points with the posed ride and pass the points off to their REAL ride by doing "faceoffs" in the gamerooms. That way they'd have their ride on the leaderboard. http://www.rankmyride.com/images/s_/13.gif

Point transfer cheating for virtual points in an internet game. :lol: Some peeps just need to step AWAY from the computer and go meet someone! :looney: If they really owned a Mustang that wouldn't be a problem! :devil:

I am pretty sure I own mine...walks to front door and looks...Yep still there along with the Harley Expidition clone.

I am also real sure on its power...when I drive her tonight to dinner I will verify it again to be sure. ;)
