Site Forum

Hey everyone/admins

 I'm thinking the site needs a much more strict registration validation process.  Whatever is in place currently is clearly not stopping fake accounts from being created.  I didn't even know you could leave comments on lists (as I have no lists), but it looks like someone managed to post an entire website in there.

 In the past 2 days I have seen spam in the forum under the subject of (person). I reported 1 of the accounts yesterday and it was removed. I will check for comments in my lists after this.

Those forum "topics" the other day were just plain weird. It was beyond weird. I couldn't read through it, but it was obviously someone just having a good time at the site's expense.

 If we are talking about the same ones, they weren't just having fun. Those long rambling type posts have hidden links in them and they get paid for each one that is clicked. I know because I used to moderate on a forum and they gave us so much trouble. 

I don't see where having the first several posts (3, 5, 10, pick a random number) is a bad thing. We could have several Forum "admins" (trusted from years of solid posting/other activity) who could check a 'holding queue" for those and then be approved.

 I could pick up my activity on the site again to help monitor.  Been a while since I've spent the full 12's on the site, (Destiny came out on 360... I've been kind of "preoccupied,") but a window is always open. 

Of course, I throw my hat in the ring, too. I may not be on 24x7 (or even 12x7, like Billy!), but I check in often enough and would be willing to monitor new posts.
