User blog:Jeremiah Garland/Keywords

Alright, so I just had a (in Harry Potter voice) brilliant idea to prevent imposters, since we've had a couple of those recently. Each user has their own "keyword" which admins can assign to them in PM (for the users that don't have enough edits to come on chat, you aren't important enough to have a keyword :P). The keyword should generally be something totally random and/obsurd, or an inside-joke that only that person would know. Also, it should not be released to the public, obviously. Only that person, as well as the admins, should know their keyword. I know it may seem like a lot of work to assign every user a keyword, but it will reduce the chances of getting more imposters, as we did with Tama64 and A. Mallace. Also, each individual user should write down their keyword, or save it in a word document or somewhere safe. Admins should also keep record of the keywords, to confirm users.This way, when we expect somebody to be an imposter, all we have to do is simply ask them "what is your keyword?" and if they do not get it, then they are an imposter.

Just a little suggestion to help keep things relatively organized :P
