- Buddy system - those who the 4+1 know in person or have spoke with on the

this still allows stuffing by someone at level 1 - someone you met once,
and therefor know exists.  He can "know" many many people, and you have
no way of verifying if they do exist.  This might be an acceptable risk,
I don't know.

I'd lean towards is. I'm more inclined to trust people than not to trust
people, then again, that might be my weakness.

- LUGNET member number - since the membership is paid, I doubt anyone [1]
has registered twice.

(missing footnote?).

Yeah, sorry. One person I know signed up twice cause he thought it had
something to do with news posting. Not a common occurance though, I don't think.

Again, might be acceptable risk - though, it is
saying that you can buy LDraw votes at $10 a pop.

Sure.

- ID scan with address, and utility bill (I know this one rubbed someone the
wrong way, but it can be _one_ method, not necessarily _the_ method)

Might work - means a lot of work on the recieving end, and isn't hard to
forge, with a little of photoshop work.  But, once more - acceptable
risk?

I think we're going to have to accept *some* level of risk here. We're an
online based community, forming an online based organization. Multiple
options up there to suit different people, and not force ONE system of
verification on someone.
