i do appreciate that it is being called what it is though: protectionism. Lol at your ridiculous over-reaction. Gee, maybe your social security card or drivers license? Not too tricky to prove who you actually are. They let you write for this site? God.
How about countries that are not the USA? Not all countries have that specific drivers licenses neither do they have social security cards

Amazing how "long" it took for the bitching and moaning to start.

Not been that much bitching and moaning, atleast not in this thread. Unless you count questions bitching and moaning?
Not everything that people need or want to know was said in thbe statement (for obvious reasons), and the only way to find those things out is to ask.
I mean no disrespect nor do I mean to bitch and moan with my questions, if it comes off that way I apologize because it isn't my intent.

in the united states, social security cards are given only to citizens, and having a driver's license does not necessarily signify that you are a lawful permanent resident. using these as proof to attach internet handles and real names is also tricky.
at any case what I am getting at is you are calling for some serious personally identifiable information from people, and I am hoping that you take great care with it.

Yes, but not every country has it easily available. I am not in possession of any type of identification that proves that I am infact a citizen of Sweden. If I needed such a thing I would need to contact our national tax agency. If the police asked I could simply state my personal code number and they could look it up in their database and see it, but for something like this tournament I would need to contact the tax agency.
What I'm trying to say is, if people know exactly what is needed they can go through the proper steps and get the required information should they be in a position that they might be eligable for this tournament.

You have no identification of any sorts? Do you never even leave the country?

You can get an ID card at your local police office for roughly 300 SEK (40 bucks?). Takes a few days to get it. Problem solved.
Oh the ID card is 400 SEK, but a normal passport is 350.

Go get it tomorrow, it's always good to have.

If people are uncomfortable with giving identifiable information to me then they don't have to apply. You're the one suggesting we release that information which is bonkers fucking ridiculous.
The way of proving you are a permanent US resident is to have a greencard, since you require one in order to be a lawful permanent resident. If you don't have a greencard, you are not a permanent resident.

what? this is just plain wrong, you *can* have a social security card w/o being a citizen.

Hmm.... I had a US social security card longgggg before I became a naturalized citizen. So I'd imagine permanent residents can get them too...or otherwise how did I have one for all those years.

People on work visas get them as well. I imagine its more to prove identity than citizenship.
Edit. I mean legal right to work. Don't know why I said identity :p

It was a theoretical question posed because I guarantee you will have people on the internet doubting that participants meet the residency requirements you put out, especially if they are a new name and face. It's good to see from your responses that you wouldn't play willy-nilly with people's information.
