It's why I've been an advocate of having all the forums 'registered users'.
Then have an open forum, that's not indexed by google, where non registered users and people wanting to ask questions can do that, if any of us want to answer.
The ability to use a fake name, provide no information at all, and start posting has always bugged me. How do we know the guy with the fake accent and pitchfork is really from UzbeckaStan or just someone who's peed off and uses a work or library computer to crank people up?
And the longer the code for these boards stays static, the easier it is to write a bot to post pre coded messages using google to find someone asking a question, use google to find the version of the Powered by UBB.threads™ 6.5.5, and then run a script, make a user, and push a post.

I closed a credit card recently that had a bad habit of sending my bills late, however, it's not a good idea to close accounts that aren't causing problems as it's a hit on your credit score for awhile. Keeping a bunch of accounts in good order is the best way to obtain good credit scores. That doesn't mean charging a lot of stuff every month, but using the cards a few times a year usually works fine.
You must be a Clark Howard fan as well, eh? LOL!!!

I couldn’t agree more. I know of one instance where a long standing member created a fake profile, posted a thread hammering another long standing member and ended his thread by painting a scenario of that member committing suicide!
PG should be able to trace the IP address of that thread and match it to the actual long standing member who posted it.

Anyone going to that extent probably knows how to spoof an IP
just sayin
Sometimes it is easy, sometimes it isn't.
And how do you verify members? Email response? For $8.99 I get a domain name that gets 1200 email addresses ..
less money if I buy in bulk .. most 'members only' forums have spoofed members. I joined quite a few that way if I didn't trust the site yet. A throw away email address is easy. Don't even need to buy a domain - gmail, yahoo, etc etc.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
