How 'bout this............ anyone can read the 'open forum' section, or any of the other unregulated and "free" indexes or sections but in order to post on any forum, including the freebies... you have to create a profile and register, period. So reading and posting are separate activities with a profile and registration required to post... and one or two of the moderators could check out the registrars... given that requirement, I would bet that the number of posts by idiots would cease and the profiles and registered members although smaller would be controllable. Yes, I know it would require a bit of work to verify the profiles but I see no other viable alternative to stopping the idiots...
I will say this however.... I don't see where we are getting that many unfortunate or idiot or ridiculous posts.... and actually, they sometimes give us a rise and a chance to jump into the fray.... which as "A" personalities that we all are.... right.... we probably deep down....................... might even enjoy the mix............. make sense??? Yep.
So, we probably will just leave it alone and let the idiots jump in........... and then make them feel bad and run away....
you all do such a good job of putting folks in their place................
