Proposal | Standard Contact Model for Skype + Contacts List

|AIN CONTACTS MODEL AT SKYPE|

Ok, here is my suggestion:
The AIN should create a model for its contacts at Skype. (What do you mean?!)

In every official reunion hall they have platelets with country's name, and sometimes the flag and its head-of-state name.
My idea is:
First:
Each member that wants to join the reunions should have an exclusive Skype account for AIN, so that the members could widely share contacts without privacy invasion and appear in the conference list with its respective country and AIN username shown, for a better organization and look of the chat box. It would also give a lot of realism to the thing.

Before you say anything about creating a new account just for the AIN, I want to remind you that you can have unlimited accounts using the same email and all you have to do is to go to the Skype website, account creation, put your email and it will auto detect your previous account, and will allow you to add a new Skype User for it, just by creating another Skype Name and password, and then you are done. Just log-in and put your new AIN Skype Name and your new AIN Skype password. It will not overwrite any other Skype accounts of that email.

Second:
Put your country's flag as your avatar/image on your AIN Skype, Edit your profile and change your full name to: |"Nation Name" - "AINWebsite Name"| (Like: |Atlantic Federation - Spy9600|.)
In your personal message, mention the languages that you speak. :

So that we can avoid saying things like:"English???" "Fr?" "Français?" "Hablas Español?" "BR?" "Deustch?" "Ok ok people who speaks english say: me"

Third:
Creating a list of AIN Skype contacts so that it would be easier for the newcomers (like me!) to find people, and would not expose us to strangers from the Internet, as it would only have information about AIN.

AIN Skype Contact Template
Example:
Skype Name:spy9600
AIN Nation:Atlantic Federation
RL Country:Brazil

I don't think there's an issue with the current system, it seems to work fine, except for the timezone problem.

I didn't mean to correct an issue, I just think it would be nicer this way...
Anyway it is still a bit difficult to add all members who have Skype, so it would be good if there was a complete list of all members on Skype. I had this idea (that members should create an account that is exclusive for AIN) for security matters. (I mean not giving our personal contacts to people out on the Internet that are not AIN members and just saw the contacts list. Any intruder with an unknown nation name would be detected in the reunions...)

Of course that it is just about precaution, its not an emergency measure once the AIN never had any problems related to that, but since it is growing I think we should start thinking about those things... Although AIN still have only 75 registered members and its theme is very specific, but we don't know how lucky we are...

If you consider the current system a good one and see no problem in keeping this and adding a list of contacts, if you think that AIN is not a risky community, once we are talking about Simcity 4 and fake players would easily be detected, you should disconsider this suggestion.

You should consider this suggestion only if you are a bit insecure about posting your personal contact on an Internet site.

This also serve as an idea for those who feel insecure about the creating/posting your contact on such list.

I like that idea! What the others say?

Personally I only use Skype for the AIN, I use Windows Live Messenger for other people. And you have to accept people, so basically unless I recognise them from here I don't accept them.

I already have a list with AIN members in it and add to it as necessary. I don't think there's rally an issue to be resolved.
