RON - Idea to weed out 'fake brides!' (and make some $$ for the site!)

With the trouble we've had on here as of late, ever consider charging a SMALL fee for registering with liweddings? I'm talking a one time registration fee of even 5 bucks? That way, no one can ever be TRULY anonymous to YOU guys - and they won't want to spend ANY amount of money to make up a screen name to come on here and be annoying to us 'good' brides!

Just a thought...

eta: okay... never mind! Thought it was a good idea, until I learned that Ron knows all (he's like JESUS! STILL love that image! ) and can tell a person's IP address of a computer if they try to register over and over and over with different screen names. So, that's a better way to block people and we don't get charged. Wahoo!

IMHO - I wouldn't sign up for a site that charged me.

Same here
I don't think the whole 'fake bride' thing is that big of a deal IMO
I think we all can smell one from a mile away and in the end we usually do

me neither

I would not pay to be on this site. I think that we pay with our information. I have gotten countless mailings and emails from wedding vendors. I understand that is how the site works and that is fine with me, but I wouldn't pay additional money

I agree. And quite frankly, I think the 'fake' brides liven the place up a bit! I don't think it's that big of a deal.

as for really weeding people out, Ron is able to block IP addresses. he knows if you create a new name because he knows which IP address it is coming from and just knows.

Exactly....

Ron doesn't need CC info to know who the user is. He knows more about you than you think....

If you ever suspect a fake bride just send him an FM...if they are, within minutes he's banned them.

oh yeah??? GOOD! I didn't know that! That's a better way to do it!

I guess you're right. NOW I would have NO PROBLEM forking over ANY amount of money to use this site since it has been INVALUABLE to me. But I wonder if I would have paid before I was a 'user'. (makes me sound like a druggie! lol).

As long as there's a way to block someone from not being able to sign on under different screen names over and over and over and over... that's cool.

I don't know computers, so I didn't know about the IP thing! Cool!

Ron... ignore my suggestion. Please don't charge me!

NOPE, I think Sarah should cover all the dues for ALL the registered members....active or not.

Nope - you would never see the amount of brides on here that you do and no one would join lif. This has been talked about over and over and over again.......

I agree, on both counts.

I'll ignore the charging of brides - how dare you suggest such a thing!

Maybe I'll just ban you instead!

FYI - if you see something that should be brought to our attention just click the

Really stupid question:

As I only pop on every now and then and read topics of specific interest, what's the deal with the 'fake bride' issue? What do they try to do that makes it so despicable (other than probably not having much of a life)?

Just curious...
