Title: Limit number of forum accounts per SR account.
Post by: simplyanon on May 11, 2012, 01:51 am
1- Register on SR as buyer/vendor
2- Register on SR Forums using buyer/vendor account name
3- Buyer/vendor account is sent a message containing a verification code comprised of whatever
4- You use that verification code to activate your forum account. One code per account.

This would stop the massive influx of shill/throw away accounts that everyone has seen trolling these forums and stirring up trouble as of late. It would also eliminate any question of 'Who's who'. It would be difficult to implement for existing buyers, but with some work it could be done so established forum members wouldn't have to change their forum accounts/start over on a new account if their forum name doesn't match their SR account name.

Just an idea, what say ye?

good idea but don't make people use the same name.

I know part of my security lies in people not knowing my log-in username.

That works just as well. But the number of fake, shill, throw away accounts on here is ridiculous.

Nothing stops them from making another SR account. It is barely a minor inconvenience for them to make a new name.
