Is that your answer to my question?
I'll ask an earlier one again:
What is more important? Getting rid of a couple of trolls or keeping the board growing? Claims that people are leaving are not supported by the huge rise in traffic and posts. Alternative sites with a verification system (www.moremiles.com) are stuck on just 300 members. So, what is better? A trollfree environment with hardly any posts or a growing community like it is now with the occasional troll?
I have no idea what NJDavid is trying to prove with his votingtest user, a multiple handle doesn't make a troll. Trolls are out to do more, trolls get attention and attention seekers get looked into, unless NJDavid used an anonymous proxy his IP is the same as his everyday one and moderators and FT staff could shut him down in a matter of hours. Creating a multiple handle to prove a point in a thread about trolls is the high point or irony.
Now, please for the sake of this discussion give up the "evangalists" and "old times" discussions and wake up to a new Flyertalk where hardly anyone knows JRF or NJDavid, the days of 250 members are long gone.
Judging by the lack of support in this thread from hordes of other members or from Randy I'd say it's an idea we won't see implemented anytime soon.
