Just to get people thinking, since maybe we're stuck... try this strawman

To be an ldraw.org member, you have to supply 3 things, all of which are
retained in a DB for validation (but not made public)
1. your real name
2. a working email address
3. and any one of the following
  - a LUGNET member number (which will be checked for uniqueness in the db)
  - a FBTB userid (which will be checked as above)
  - a BrickLink userid (as above)
  - a BZPower userid (as above)
  - N current members who will vouch for you that you are a real person
(N=3 perhaps?)
  - mail in something that establishes you are a real person. Perhaps mail
in the letter that ldraw.org mails YOU? It gets shredded on return to ldraw.org

(that last one would be used only for extreme cases as one of the above
would suit everyone, just about)

The above set sounds OK to me.

How would that be? Who would be disenfranchised by that set? Or is even that
set too tough? Should we just allow more or less anyone to vote, ala MoTM?

I think you've found a good balance by the set above. Todd has mentioned a
system for cross-checking IDs for uniqueness elsewhere in this thread, which
I think is important to be able to claim an off-site (non-LDraw.org) ID as
verification.

Everyone: Can we move forward based on this list above? I haven't seen any
serious objections, so I don't see why not. (if there are some and I missed
them, please point them out).

(...) look at Amy's post, and what she pointed out. For making sure each member is unique, the list (that I snipped) doesn't help. But I suggest we move on anyway, and just require a unique working email address for now. We can try to think of other (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
