Um, nope.

So there's this site I've been a member of for a while -- Nextdoor, which is sort of like a localized Facebook.

I got an email yesterday saying they were temporarily suspending my account because sex predator. Apparently in the case of apartments they block *anyone in that apartment conplex* until they prove they're not the sex offender.

To resolve this, they want me to fax over a scan of my ID card with name and address listed.

...

Um how 'bout hell no. I don't trust websites that much.

(I looked up the sex offender registry. There is someone listed for this apartment complex, but a guy, with a completely different name than mine. And I don't get the policy of blocking the entire complex. True, I didn't list an apartment number with them, just the primary street address, and I suppose they have no way of knowing I don't live with this guy, but they also have no way of proving that someone two streets down isn't a close friend of the guy and lets him use their computer all the time, so wtf.)

I feel like I'm being unreasonably cranky about this, but wtelf.
