Roll the dice, try again.

How do we do this? Rather than just something like looking at the flood and it's just a random pool of spammers.

hOW?

I'm not quite sure I understand the question...

Normally people make threads about specific ideas. This thread is waaaaay too vague to offer up real, longterm discussion I think. But essentially he's asking, "How do we make it so people care more about their accounts."

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

You can't force someone to put effort, or anything meaningful in their post. Then again, you don't have to reply to a thread, or a post if you think it's spam. Hell, report if it's a problem.

I disagree. Generally, one is capable of forcing someone to do anything. It is just the process that must be carried out to accomplish this, is ussually unpleasant.

Check out my Soundcloud account to hear some of my music.
Here's my twitter, in the off-chance you want that too.

Bye.

To get more value out of posts you would have to increase the value of accounts. Because you can create lots of alt accounts fairly easily it means a lot of people don't get directly attached to an account, so they will use it as a junk account (spamming, rule breaking, name calling, taking my mother out for dates and not calling her back!).

Currently there's very little difference between an account created right this second and an account that's 7 years old, asides from a different title, color and the ability to create groups. There is very little reason for a user to keep on one account other than handiness and etiquette.

Credit-card authorisation is an idea that I have thrown out before but this site is for anyone over 13 and I believe you need to be 18 in most places to apply for a credit card. That would alienate the 13-18(or 20) age bracket, the primary age of the gaming market.

A thought just occurred to me. My bungie account has been paired with a mobile device for the bungie app. Why not have mobile pairing a requirement to make an account? Not many people have multiple phones so this would reduce the number of alt accounts and, in-turn, would reduce spam. This is the kind of account attachment that needs to be added so that people will try to stick to one account.
