::Problems with that proposal -- some people (e.g. me) are behind translucent proxies. Everyone at my ISP will turn up with the same IP number. And getting people at banned IPs to sign up for a login name won't solve much -- vandals will just keep on signing up for new login names with new false identities. Of course, we could require them to provide some more unique identity (e.g. an email account other than a hotmail or yahoo, their real name with some form of ID) -- but that will just become a bureaucratic waste, it will discourage people who value their privacy but still have a decent contribution to make from contributing, and it would prevent some people (e.g. people from Internet cafes with no choice but to use hotmail or yahoo) from participating. (Also, this discussion probably belongs somewhere other than this page.) -- SJK |
