There hasn't been any response to my question s to how techno;ogy may or may not help this situation, but I had a thought while I was out shoveling snow (shoveling
again I should say, and I don't want to hear about it BigJohn!
).
If everyone HAS to supply a valid e-mail address, could a system be set up where a person receives a warning (via form e-mail) and after that, the "account" would be deleted?
Yes, that person could then re-sign up, but I really think that if this cycle continued, it would be much more time-involved from that persons' viewpoint rather than the 60 seconds it would take a moderator to send the form letter and then delete the account.
I don't want to make work for Amie (or anyone else), but I don't
think it would involve much time.
Another consideration would be to make someone else a moderator. On larger forums, there are frequently several. A "middleman" also might help to "separate" Axiom from a problem person.
Just random thoughts....
