Suggestion for Baron - A Pay site?

[BSAM]

Quote from marketsurfer:

although very well meaning, you guys have absolutely no clue what works with this demographic. baron has cracked the code, so to speak, creating this behemouth of a site in an extremely difficult market to break into. he is THE EXPERT in this field, very few can compete. what he says should be analysed very closely by those who care and taken as fact.

like it or not, this site lives on page views, it dont matter the quality of the viewee, views are views are views are as far as the advertiser is concerned.

sad but true.

Occasionally, even Marketsurfer writes something that I agree with. People need to realize that going to a credit card registration or a rating system would discourage many posters. Thus, way fewer views.

I don't really understand all the fuss. I mean there are some posters who go overboard, but for the most part, one shouldn't let these people bother them. Just ignore their posts. This topic, for the most part is much ado about nothing.

The main problem is, that little is done to prevent some who are really off the wall. I proposed that a VARIETY of methods be made available to people. Paypal confirmation, credit card, ISP email, and I am sure, many other methods.

Quote from Ivanovich:

Chaos had a great idea when he mentioned that users should be rated. And this forum engine actually has an upgrade to allow that functionality to occur. The "Reputation" system that allows users to give reputation points to a good poster and deduct them from a jackass would let users follow and subscribe to threads from good posters and ignore ones from idiots.

Also, you cannot add reputation points to someone if you don't have any yourself (prevents people with multiple accounts from giving reputation points to themselves).

What are we waiting for then... Adding a points system to this site is a brilliant idea and would greatly increase the quality of postings...
