Hi All:

I am all for verification of some type but still being able to retain anonimity as a poster if choose to do so.

I do think that some of the fun / character banter might leave us if everyone had to post under their real ID. There is nothing wrong with humour, and vigourous ribbing up to the point where it doesn't become personal.And I'd be reluctant to lose that colour on Ax. Sometimes when two people claerly rub people up the wrong way and can debate with humour and "strong spirited" logic, that is as good as "Days of Our Lives" or "Coro Street" i'd be reluctant to lose that also.

The verfication process: I think that would simply have the effect of detering shitstirrer, simply because they are now responsible to someone (if only the ax moderation team).

I had a major issue towards the end of last year with an anonymous poster hacking / or using my computer which caused me no end of stress. As it looked the world like the crap that was coming from this person's mouth came from my machine. Fortunately Brian and co were able to nip it in the bud pretty early (after about 3 days I think)and I had to get an IT geek to come in and give my computer a complete overhaul. But the point is had that person had to verify his ID there would never have been as issue in the first place.

The major question for Brian is expense of going through the verification process, and ensuring security of that information.

On the moderation front - I do think regionalised moderators should be used as well as the current team as we all tend to be region centric in the majority of threads we post on. So having some one for example who is a kiwi/ aussie keeping an eye on Australasian threads would be useful and proably lessen the pressure on the moderation team to get aropund everything.

And Tony Haye "And you do not cut mustard, you dip your knife in and spread it or or dollop it on your food." LOL, I think that is bloody funny and gets and interesting point across at the same time.
