> I know!What about requiring people to use their ISP's email address to register? It's been awhile since I've registered, so I don't remember the way you have it set up. Maybe sending an email like:
janedoe@aol.com (not allowing hotmail, yahoo, etc.)
alternate: jdoe@hotmail.com
Then you could look for jdoe@hotmail.com, they wouldn't have to use their real name on the board, jdoe@hotmail.com gets banned, and janedoe@aol.com does too, and couldn't register unless they switched ISP's.
I wouldn't like giving out my real name and email address, but if it wasn't public it may not be so bad.
You could also implement it now, and anyone getting banned from this point would be required to register that way.
Not fool proof, but even aol only gives out a certain number of alternate addresses, so there would be an end eventually.
Just thinking out loud.....
