iRacing and real names?
From:
https://members.iracing.com/membersite/termsofuse.jsp Here is the clause: 4.1. To establish an Account, you will be required to provide iRacing.com with certain personal information. Your failure to supply accurate information to iRacing.com when requested, or to update that information as it changes, may result in an interruption or cancellation of service. You agree that we may handle your personal information as described in our Privacy Policy. In particular (but without limitation), you acknowledge that, except in extraordinary circumstances as agreed to by iRacing in its sole discretion, YOUR REAL NAME (or a variation of your name, such as your name followed by a numeral) WILL BE DISPLAYED TO OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICE, AND YOU HEREBY CONSENT TO SUCH DISPLAY. THIS INCLUDES DISPLAY OF YOUR NAME WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS TAKEN AGAINST YOU AS FURTHER DESCRIBED IN THE SPORTING CODE. The purpose of displaying members' real names is to create accountability to discourage members from engaging in disruptive activity. IF YOU ARE AUTHORIZING A MINOR CHILD TO USE THE SERVICE, YOU MUST NOT PROVIDE TO IRACING.COM ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT SUCH CHILD. So similar to RSC, forum members are subject to display of your real name and disciplinary actions? This is the same issue I had with RSC. The issue is that these disciplinary actions would qualify as defamatory statements made against members, especially those using real names. Regardless of any implied agreement, in the USA, you can't waive your legal rights to be protected against defamation (libel or slander), since it's covered by criminal law (although it's usually handled via civil lawsuits). iRacing would be violating defamation laws if it couldn't back up any public disciplinary action with reasonable proof. In a criminal case or lawsuit, the burden of proof is upon the person or company that made the statement. However, nothing in the termsofuse requires a member to use a real name, and in the case of a minor, the real name isn't permitted to be used, since it would be revealing personal information about the minor. |
