How about banning multiple ids for the same person (same IP address? same contact email?)? Seems like that is just another way of spamming and deceiving people.
How about a couple rules to limit the power of mods to control the dialog on various boards?
Suggestion 1: Limit the number of public boards anyone can be a moderator for. There seem to be lots of pumpers and bashers who seize control of a board by becoming a mod. It is not uncommon to see the same posse of posters as mods on a series of boards.
Suggestion 2: Limit the number of posts a mod can make on the board they moderate. Yes, I am suggesting that the mods be limited while others are not.
If I could afford to buy all of them, I would not need to buy any of them and I sure wouldn't be spending time on the message boards!
