Just create 6 account, make lots of posts to reach Jr.Member, Abrakadabra, he/she will get same stakes with "legendary" rank. (That's just example, how easy to get a lot of money in this forum)
I think main problem in this forum is, so easy to create multiple accounts!
What's your opinion if the rules are changed to "One Person One Account"? And should to pass KYC?
Totally agree - multiple account for signature bounty are the worst pain in the ass... that's why raising the merit level is good but not for long time it will kick off small hunters but hundreds of BIG HUNTERS with dozens of account probably find the way to buy merit pay someone to write posts (It's all about money - as long profits are higher than costs they will probably find a solution) etc... unless merit level will be raised to really high rank but it wouldn't be fair for regular users...
KYC for joining the forum I'm not sure maybe verification via SMS at first (using hundred of simcards wouldn't stop but surely complicate using mutliple accounts)
and look up Libertarianism.
...and you'll understand why KYC will never...ever...happen. Unless forced by gunpoint or at threat of imprisonment perhaps being the exceptions.
KYC will be the end of the beginning.
