consider the fact that there are already duplicate "pfp" handles created solely for the purpose of harassing other FTers.

Ah, now that's a totally different subject. I agree wholeheartedly that multiple handles from those that participate here should be banned. People using them to harass, to be humourous, to pretend to be people they are not, or pretend to be entire families. All are major detractors from this community.

I believe that each participant should have to pay a fee on a major credit card, or send a driver's license copy, or do something that enables Inside Flyer to verify that they are a real person, and not a duplicate handle BEFORE they are allowed to post. Then you wouldn't need so much moderation. People behave differently when they do not act with the shield of anonymity.
