Occasionally, even Marketsurfer writes something that I agree with. People need to realize that going to a credit card registration or a rating system would discourage many posters. Thus, way fewer views. I don't really understand all the fuss. I mean there are some posters who go overboard, but for the most part, one shouldn't let these people bother them. Just ignore their posts. This topic, for the most part is much ado about nothing.
The main problem is, that little is done to prevent some who are really off the wall. I proposed that a VARIETY of methods be made available to people. Paypal confirmation, credit card, ISP email, and I am sure, many other methods.
What are we waiting for then... Adding a points system to this site is a brilliant idea and would greatly increase the quality of postings... - mnx
