This is an open post to the administrator of the site. This site used to be a valuable tool for those of us in the theatre community to find useful information and share our thoughts with others. Of late, it has become a bitchfest. I would like to see posts retricted to signed up and verified members only. While this wouldn't stop completely the post hijacking that is currently destroying this site, it would mean that you would need to take the time to sign up a membership, which could subsequently be revoked if site rules are abused. Obviously this is not a panacea, but I think will help this site grow. I'm fed up with the crap! Jeff

Couldn't say it better than that

Here here! And as an extension to my previous comment on Wikipedia: one of the founders of Wikipedia has created a new, similar site, but with one change. You have to provide proof (ie. credentials, contact info) of your identity before you can become a registered writer/editor for this site. You have to provide references (ie. someone already on the site must vouch for you), and you have to be checked out by person - rather than by computer check - before being allowed to contribute. There are obvious problems with that, as Grant said, you're then liable for the safety of that information... but also, it's incredibly easy to fake IDs and so forth. As proven by the thousands of online scams and hackers. Moppet eyes now on sale at Puppets in Melbourne
