For years this site has been plagued by fake handles. I've seen some website offer verification through social media. This would be a valuable feature to give everyone comfort that who they are talking to is a real person they could meet in real life, and hopefully get rid of the fake posts this website has been plagued with for years. I am friends with a few pianostreet members on facebook, and it's really nice to know they are REAL PEOPLE.I think it would greatly improve this website and community. The troll wouldn't be able to exert the effort necessary to create enough fake facebook pages as to be convincing. I think it is worth doing.
I do not have a Facebook account, and have no intention of getting one just to prove to you that I'm not a fake. I value my anonymity.
Look at the posts on this forum now, there are very few beginners because they had been run off by being accused of being a troll.
paranoia should be stopped
and those that are paranoid should refrain from posting their delusional thoughts.
Think I'm a troll because I don't support some cute little icon that would confirm a two-step their verification process? Go ahead with your paranoid thoughts. I would not be subjected to such a policy, either voluntary or mandatory.
