now all of the sudden ATS wants us to identify ourselves by placing a credit card on file so they can " weed out" the problem people. yes, there are ALOT of you annoying ass people that just want to start crap on here because your annonymous, but thats why ATS blocks them. anyway, that sounds like a good cover reason to place our credit cards on file, but with any good conspiracy nut, we'll say
'kiss my ass!".sounds like big brother may have gotten to you,eh, ATS? now if we have stumbled upon something big, or seen something and want to discuss it and spread the word, WE CANT WITHOUT FEAR OF BEING TRACKED! i thought thats what made ATS feel so safe in the first place. annonymity. i say no to this. i do not wish to be tracked, monitered, and scrutinized on a "conspiracy" site. this site was probally generated by "the man" in the first place to moniter what we're saying so they can get the drop on the cover story. enjoy your dollars big brother because the ones you really want to watch, wont be here.

Um...if someone sent you a message saying this, you better report it.
ATS wouldn't ask you to do this.

Sorry Op, I think youve got your wires crossed here. Although, I would love to hear where you got your information from?

There isnt one of us here who hasnt dropped the ball ourselves, so dont worry about it. ATS, like life is surely a learning process.

Respects to you.

The fact that I am here and posting this now and have not been banned, and firewall blocked from ATS for life should be proof enough that ATS is not working for "the man"

I am, therefore ATS, isn't!

ATS does NOT want you to give your credit card number or picture. That was a foolish idea from a poster that was shot down by ATS staff. The last post in the thread clearly stated this.

This thread is a repeat of threads that come up every couple weeks. ATS is not the man. ATS is not working for the man. Or maybe ATS is. Doesn't really matter either way.

Well articulated. I think you should give your credit card information to whomever asked for it. Be a good example to us annoying ass people who want to start crap. Lead the way!

I suspect the OP arose from this ridiculous thread

we've never asked our members for a dime, let alone a credit card.

we subject you to ads and, in return, you get all that we have to offer, for free.

It's moot either way. If ATS has any ties to any Government agency there would be nothing you could do about it, and if they are they will not tell any of us, and there would be no way for us to find "proof". In fact, even if you hide behind such things as TOR or any other anonymiser, it would take the NSA around 2 seconds to find your butt and knock your door in so it's pointless to even debate.

I have never been asked to pay a dime.
If i had i would tell ats NOOOO because i don't do credit cards or pay to post.

This is yet another dillusional thread among many, yet you accuse others of coming here to start crap?

Exactly what I would expect a government dis-info agent to say. That's right-- I'm on to you.

No such thing is happening, nor will it ever happen.
