brian, if you feel so strongly about anon accounts then why not just remove them?, maybe i'm missing something?? if you honestly believe that all anon accounts have a detrimental effect on your business place then why allow it? you've mentioned that you dont value the opinion of anon accounts either so why not just deactivate all memberships?

from my pov i really dont understand it, what i mean by that is i dont know anybody on here personally, therefore i could have filled out a bogus account with a made-up name, as nobody knows me & ive not met any people on here personally then who'd be the wiser? would that have made me more credible on here though called william conker(fictional name) i agree the verification with facebook is a good idea if you want to ensure that somebody is genuine but i dont understand the delay in actions when you feel so strongly on the subject & are so against unknown members & state that its stalling your visitor numbers

i dont have a facebook page, i'm obvioulsy a minority but truth be told i think all the facebook stuff is a bit sad, ive pals on there & i tell them the same thing, u speak to your pals on the phone or you see them, i can understand the value of it for somebody trying to promote themeself or for somebody that has family abroad & wants to keep in touch but even then...why not just write them an email or phone them

i've tried to ignore most of the talk on here calling anons cowards/trolls etc i always assumed that these comments were against the people looking to cause problems, i've read these posts myself & thought they were out of order lol i didnt think these comments were actually referring to me but from the owners mouth it seems it is

so why not delete all the anons & impliment this verification system asap, the verification thing might take a bit longer but anybody on your member base who isnt actually known & verified then just purge your database of them, tbh after the opinions of the owner im not that bothered & im not gonna sign up to something i dont personally agree with(fb) just to post on here, i like to keep my private life private, anything my close friends & family need to know about me they know already, perhaps i'm just a bit more private than some of you, if that makes me a troll then thats up to you guys & says more about the people judging me than it does about me, this troll label is meant to insult a person, for me its just some daft jargon made up by the internerds
