I'd like to see a greater emphasis on creating incentives for members to become verified. Either unverified members need to have access to fewer features (stick approach), or verified members need access to more features (carrot approach). RP could even do a combination of the two. That will hopefully motivate people to submit evidence for verification. That might help reduce some of the trolling on the boards, as well as the frequent appearance of fake Generals/Admirals and SF/SEALs/Snipers. A good initial step would be not displaying the ranks and limiting the posting ability of unverified members.

Welcome to RP, and best of luck in your internship!

Yes I would like to understand the vetting process - knowing name, date and rank of someone in service seems like all that's needed. As well it would be nice to have a sub set of contacts along the lines of people you served with.

Unverified users can't post or comment.

I'd be okay with a reduced level of interaction on the boards. I'd go with something like "You can only comment on posts made by verified members, you have a limited number of comments per day, and you can't vote anyone up or down."

Based on the last election cycle, i'd say most of the "bomb-throwers" up here were unverified.

First and foremost, find a way to use our iPhones in the same manner as my PC. Depending on the search engine and platform, it's different. May not be in your court, but annoying. Tighten up on the verification process, many of the most vocal posters are not verified. Got more, but that is a start.

I agree, using RP on my Android phone is not as good as on other platforms.
