Verified User - to help combat trolls?

I had this idea the other day and wondered what others thought of it. Obviously there will be holes in my idea, but wanted to air it.

Not sure if it's technically possible, with the Mumsnet tech as I believe it's quite an old system, but worth airing my thought.

Basically, is there a way for users to become verified, this should deter the majority of goady fuckers, begging posts, trolls and occasional pile on from outside forums or platforms when they believe we should be silenced or taught a lesson.

Basically, if you've been here either 1 year or 1000* posts (whichever comes first?) you get a V by your username. This is regardless of name changes, the V is linked to your Mumsnet account so shows up regardless of your current name.

Obviously the more determined troll would just play the long game, but I think it could help get a lot of the Trolly bollocks we see, off the boards.

*have picked these out of the blue as a starting idea.
