Should Non-Verified users be able to participate in the answers section?

It seems as there are a lot of users who are not verified commenting on Questions/Discussions. Most of them are fine but it seems that some users create an account just to antagonize others. I personally think that only verified users should have access to this section, to prevent spam and users who may not be military posting.

What do you think? Should this be a verified users only section? How long does it really take to verify your account?

I thought that the only way you could even access any other area other than your profile you had to be verified has that changed or has someone found a way to hack the site, this makes me curious, have you brought it up to the admin folks.

If it's just a question (versus questioning previous activity), I would say 'no'. Let them be verified first. If not, we don't have an 'exclusive' site, and might as well carry on in Facebook.

I think the idea that non- verified people could come on here and pretend to be veterans is unnerving. Another problem is that they can instigate disruptiveness and cohesiveness which is pretty good right now.
