JamieH Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 why the fuck do people have to share their date of birth on applications? Link to comment
Mitch (IFRIT) Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Same reason you gotta tell the gas station clerk your DOB when buying tobacco. Gotta be a certain age. Is there an alternative way we could verify age before letting someone continue with the application process? Kraken, lukee and Bherky like this Link to comment
Kraken Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I feel like JamieH should have to take a picture of his ID and submit that now as well. Link to comment

Only staff and SGT+ can see those applications, its not like I can pull up your app just to see how old you are... Its the same reason gang applications ask for age, for the most part maturity comes with age and there's a minimum requirement that needs to be met. No one is forcing you to apply. Same reason movie theatres might ask you for your ID if your going to an R rated movie and you look like your 12, before you enter they might ID you, they dont wait for you to sit down in the theatre then ask how old you are, there is a requirement you need to meet. Unfortunately there's no way for them to 100% verify your age on apps and they are hoping you answer the questions truthfully. Edited August 26, 2021 by Kraken Link to comment

Kraken Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Policy change? Updates to application to make them better? They are making sure they aren't wasting their time training people again. Video games are toxic. Life in general can be toxic. As Rocky once said "You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward." If you cant take toxicity from people you've never met, people you cant see, people that literally don't mean a damn thing, your going to struggle dude. TBH though it seems this world is catering more and more to snowflakes now a days, I think that's the biggest issue. Link to comment

Things are different now. We need to know your age among other things for multiple reasons. If there's nothing to hide, whats the problem with that information being provided?

Any age discrepancy even if you lied in the past is a blacklist. DOB makes sure that you didn't lie in the past and is more specific. You'd be surprised how many people forget their DOB when you ask them on the spot. Vista, Jr4life24 and GravL like this Link to comment

Cukofuko Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I understand if you wouldnt want to disclose your name/surename. But im unsure what someone can dig up on your with your DOB, besides the fact you are probably under the age requirement Link to comment

Repto Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) To be honest if anyone for whatever reason is *this* concerned with info as useless to an individual as a DoB then why not just have applications ask for age in a number then DoB gets asked during an interview to tell if people get the dates spot on and matched up... 🤷♂️ Will still have the same current security for people lying about ages since old app's before this change would still show DoB's. This way only LT's really will ever need to hear a DoB and even then it wont be recorded anywhere other than a usually one time verbal conversation. Edited January 6, 2023 by Repto Link to comment
