1. Might hurt overall membership...You could require new members to enter a lot of trivial information for like "Favorite Pet Store" to sign up. If it takes a lot longer to sign up for an account they might go elsewhere.
2. You could require email confirmation of an account but then we would have to use some kind of real email address.
3. Allow for a period of 7 days to pass before allowing an member to post. Theyll eventually catch on probably but you could switch it around a bunch to fuck with them.
4. Charge 10 cents for signup
5. Allow reputable memebers to.moderate and delete posts of zero repped members. Obviously this one is tricky because they could delete descenting opinions
6. Block the first 10 posts of new users from the forum until verified
7. If they up end of being bots. Try the hidden field solution.
