    What I feel most degrades this site is the huge amount of "False Peons" you see on this forum each day. If mods can find a little time to check (maybe thru IP?), I'll bet the vast majority of Peons already have accounts in this forum and were banned or caught on as scammers....a little clean-up would do this site wonders.

    just a suggestion.

    I think I agree with you. But the forum is quite large and such a work would need a man power for dedicated mods.

    I've been a member for a long time. And i notice the "serious" people have all drifted away.
    So maybe a few long nights may be worth considering.
    The easiest way is to track new accounts as they appear and checking their IPs...rather than jumping on ALL peons. There are, i'm sure, valid new members in this forum.

    There are many vB plugins that can easily do this.

    When you start paying a heafty fee for using the forum, we will consider your request to create such a verification department . Until that time, suffice it to say, "ain't gunna" happen.
