I agree with you in large part. I just ignore the "idiots". Plenty of immature people out there posting. Over time ET may evolve into another Yahoo where anything goes ... and I suspect serious traders will move on.
Agree 100%. Having a multiple IP address block script is easy to implement and should be done. Also agree re asking for a credit card verification or small fee/$1-$3, also a great idea to confirm identities and help keep this place yahoo/spam free, from multiple identities and shills/spammers. Best to have a 2-tiered approach, eg we all know to only take more seriously, posts by people who have registered w/credit cards, and they have an icon by their name or something like that. Like having verified identities on ebay, it makes a big difference.
