Sure people can forge new accounts, but the poster themselves can make a judgement based on who is leaving the feedback -- feedback from many low post accounts is likely to be fradulent, so is a lot of feedback in a short period of time.
I guess, in a nutshell, I don't see why FT has to interfere with what people wishes to do with their property.
because FT does not exist PRMARILY for trading or even donating items - it exists primarily to share inofrmation of interest to Frequent Flyers. Randy has made it clear he's not interested iin turning CC into an ebay or other kind of transaction-based forum.
Participation in CC is based on having an interest in at least some of the other activities that go on here.
