I was thinking a simple one also.... I don't think it should be based on your number of chess moves... Some poeple have honest questions they might need to ask in the forums before 100 moves...
I was thinking if they sign up for a new account, RHP should give them their first password... and email it to them.
They check the email, and sign on... ...[text shortened]... could use...
Anyway, that would have stopped the crappy problem today, no problem.

Yes, but at least it will slow them down... as it is now a troll can pop in and out in seconds.... I'm just trying to make it harder for the guy who comes in and acts 'crappy', gets banned... and is back in 40 seconds.
Don't teach the trolls to troll better!
Probably best is comobonations of all ideas offered so far!

How about this idea:
Restrict full posting priviliges to pawn stars. The vast majority of the pawn stars have used credit cards to subscribe. New users that have not yet become pawn stars can post in one or two base forums, and need to earn trust points before they may post in the remaining forums. They would earn these points by either the number of recommendations or a brand new option that would award them points. Likewise, if a posting incurred even one "Alert moderator" press, then posting priviliges would be immediately suspended pending review.
-Ray.
