I believe that once a profile has not been verified within a certain time limit, that the said account should be pulled off of RallyPoint. What say you??
IF you don't know how to verify your account, go to

I wholeheartedly agree.
At the very least, I think that un-verified accounts should come with limitations. For example, a person with an unverified account should not be able to up or down vote [or, should have a smaller number of up votes (less than verified members have) --- and no down votes --- at their disposal].

Also I think that they shouldn't able able to view everything on our profiles. Who knows what these people are doing on here.

No verification, in light of current security threats, should not be able to view profiles.
Up votes, meh.
Down votes, no.
Topic posting - increased scrutiny by the moderators, especially for controversial topics?

The captain just needs another case of rip it's. Fixes everything outside of sleep apnea.

I would agree. I have seen some accounts that are shady to be honest. First, I also believe that one should use their full name. Just as you and I do. It lends to responsibility of our statements. Using a pen name or just letters seems odd to me. It is really hard to take you serious. A picture is great also. I use my one in uniform. I think it only adds value to what I say. You can see that I am not just a new LT. I have a bit of flair that shows my experience. When the picture is blank it is just old to me too. I have seen some profiles that I was thrown off when I clicked them. I thought they were much younger. It is rare to see anyone retire as a 1LT. A picture would have clarified that.
I way to set a restriction to posting after a certain time frame would be a good idea.

Cpl Christopher Bishop I think it has more to do with the level of professionalism here. If you are discussing a something as a professional I would expect courtesies such as using your name. I suppose it factors on how you look at RallyPoint.

I got your intention, 1LT Eric Rosa, but there are some people who say some pretty whack things, and the fact they listed their full name in the process does not make their words any less whack. Courtesies are fine but they should not become the meat and potatoes of any conversation.

Verified accounts I can get behind, but forcing full names and or disclosure only provides opportunities to punish an individual for a perceived injustice. That is already taking place on FB. If we make it too strict and too professional then membership will steeply decline in the vet/ret and junior personnel sectors. If the vet/ret population declines we have nothing to compare ourselves to for insight and if the juniors are not interested in RP out of fear the do not get our insights.....everyone stops developing, which I thought was the exact point of RP.

CPL Thomas Fields I think cooler minds would prevail. We are not the VA here. The verification is so that RallyPoint can ensure quality control. I am sure you have been to a golden corral on veterans day. Everyone says they are a vet and go. I know well that there wasn't that many vets were I live. It is insane. I know full well that some of those guys are pure fakes. The verification process is a way to insure that the members here are who they say they are.
As you know stolen valor is becoming more and more common. The last thing we need here is a fake here telling others bad information.
