The problem this email address filter does not (and cannot) solve and
actually exacerbates is the "is this an official voice of TLC or not"
problem. Presuming it becomes simple for Jake and Tomas to post using their
secret AFOL identities as opposed to their superhero TLC identities, at what
point does the *content* of a post actually come into play when deciding
whether the voice is official or not. If mild mannered Jake@yahoo.com says,
"To the bat cave, Tomas" is he really Bruce Wayne or is he Batman? Is any
mention of the train contest by Jake an "official voice" regardless of his
email address? If Tomas ever mentions Bionicles in the Bionicle newsgroups
(regardless of his email address) don't you think it's just about as
official as it would be when he posts via his lego.com address?
If you simply say "an official voice is one posting from a lego.com address"
then Tomas and Jake are free to post messages containing the identical
content of their previous messages from their personal email addresses.
Isn't it the content of a message that is important? Isn't it content that
concerns you? Had Jake and Tomas posted in response to the latest MOC a
"that's so cool" message using their lego.com address would a "yesterday's
events" of that sort have caused this precipitation? That seems unlikely to me.
Just some thoughts from another 13 year old screaming lunatic fan,
