/u/magnora7 how about having more mods? Because right now, the front page is just filled with these.

it is so easy to do a little fake voting... it takes all of less than two minutes to register a new login account, you arent even required to use an email address, lol... and then all you need to do is to re-login using those throwaway logins and then vote up your post... it takes usually no more than eight or ten fake upvotes to get to the top of the front page.

every thing on the front page now is the result of fake votes, i am quite sure.

You've got a point, it should require email confirmation just to slow it down.

requiring an email really does not that much at all... i think that in order for a forum to become a quality source of chat and whatnot, it should be necessary that we have a video of the user in his profile... a bit like how this one sugar babies site that i go to they have a short five or ten seconds of a verification video in their profile...

Absolutely no one is going to provide a video of their face for the sake of anonymity/privacy.
