Would it be possible to have a function that allowed us to see how long a poster had been a member of MN, as some other sites do?
It would be especially useful in some of the forums that tend to have a mass pile on of trolls like FWR. That way genuine posters can be identified and the ones who had just joined to troll could be ignored.
Equally, if a member starts a thread of a sensitive nature and so name changes, people will know they’re genuine rather than a PBP or a troll. It might stop all the ‘interesting first post’ comments and reduce troll hunting.
