Related idea I got: one "easy" (nonmanual, not super-invasive) way for them verify names would be to do a credit card verification, which would verify that they had a credit card in that name.
But people probably wouldn't be too keen to give their credit card info to a free site just for "name verification".
- hkuo 16y agoThis works for people with credit cards, but there would need to be another layer for people without credit cards.
- bkmartin 16y agoPeople do it for "free" prOn sites all the time for "age" verification purposes. If the perceived value is there, then people will do it.

- gergles 16y agoCredit cards don't verify names anyway, it's not even an option to get back from the authorization network. You can use a credit card to verify addresses, but not names.

- jackowayed 16y agoBut most people aren't dedicated enough to trolling to get a gift credit card so they can verify the fake name they want to troll with.
- ja2ke 16y agoGiven that my name is "Valued Customer," that influx of gift card users would probably fuck my chances of ever getting a validated Quora account.
