I consult for a porn site and it is not as easy as you think. Also hacking and trolls are a real problem there. As FT continues to grow I could see it here. We now have flood control and IP tracking. In the porn industry this is the tip of the iceberg. Also for verification you can both charge and credit back the dollar, so no cost to the new member. However, if you were to impose a credit card verification process, I believe that Rudi is right the number of newbies would drop dramatically. The fear of putting your credit information in for verification is a big hurdle to overcome. The porn industry does that with product. What would FT use?
