So playing off this idea a little bit, this is a location-based forum. Is it possible to add a member attribute along the lines of, "Vouched by: $memberName"And on that note I do a buttload of driving to all corners for work, landmark pictures well begin at $5 a pop.
I do like this idea though, requiring some type of photo proof maybe with a date or time stamp so they can’t pull crap from Google. It could be faked but it would take more effort than most of them want to invest
ETA: Oh wait nevermind. That's really what the feedback system is. Do people use it?
Pragmatically, it is nigh an impossibility. Using a system of alternate accounts, I can provide feedback from Jimbob#1, Jimbob#2, etc. I can even provide pictures of "us" to show "we're" real. Whatever you want to require, the scammer can get past it. Unless YOU personally know/vouch for the accounts that have provided feedback, you're ultimately taking a risk. FtF minimizes this risk.*
*Yes, accounts can be compromised. Double check that the recent posting behavior matches the historical account behavior. Only YOU can prevent yourself from being scammed.
