There are too many people around at JL nowdays with fake ids or one person with too many ids. But I was just wondering what attracts one here to create such fake ids and the only attraction which I could think of at JL is chaupal.
Most of the time people create fake ids so that they can come and vomit out all nonsense in chaupal and the place instead of being a plateform for fruitful discussion/genuine interaction is turning out to be ......*****
I have a suggestion. Instead of making chaupal accessible to everyone who registers, is it not possible to make this feature available based on some criterion.
For instance guest users can not look into the profile of active users untill unless they register. Similarly, i think it should be possible to make chaupal accessible to eveyone who registers initial for a period of 5 usage (or 5days from the date of registertion) and then they should prove themself qualified. Like they may be obliged to fill a form in which they should mention any 5 user of chaupal (atleast 1 of them should be the one whom mods can genuinely rely or a member of JL for long time) who support their membership and some minimal number of mails they have contributed to threads. It would be very much like verifying e-mail address.
I do not think it should be diffcult to incorporate such feature. I agree that it may not ensure 100% freedom from unwanted users but I am sure it would certainly reduce the users who are here simply to bother others.
