Right now, any account can be created on-line, tied to a PSN on-line and never even enter the game, but still is allowed to post in the forums.
This lets you create a completely anonymous account, and with a little bit of extra work you can get your IP around the world, throw in logging in from a fresh VM of your choice and it makes it extremely difficult to stop a spammer or troll from carpet bombing the forum until a GM can clean things up (as we saw with all the PlanetSide2 spam over the last week).
Requiring 1 WP means the Toon has set foot in New Eden, and the PSN account should be "logged" to a PS3 (assuming this is true, no idea really).
If you really want post using a forum alt, great. Fire up the alt, play one game with it, then you're golden.
If all you want to do is troll the forum, then sure, fine, just set foot in New Eden and link your account to a PS3 so if CCP decides to hand out bans, they can tie the ban back to a PS3, instead of just an anonymous PSN account.
As they say in New Eden, Choices should have Consequences. |

I would have said "revel in" or "love to garner", instead of "like" but I've got a thesaurus I keep meaning to use and I'm way to loquacious as a general rule. ... but to get back on topic, do either of you have anything to add on the whole "WP= ability to post" idea?  |

Yes, but if they did what I suggested, then all you'd need to do is log in to PSN, play a match with that account, and you're done.
I'm not suggesting huge WP caps that prevent you from posting until you've passed out of the academy (although it is relatively easy for a vet to do this, even on a new toon).
Not sure how it would affect you, except eliminate the absolute anonymity that the current mechanism allows spammers to hide behind.
In EVE, to post on the forums, you are ultimately accountable to CCP for your actions and they know its you because you are paying for an account (even if it is just with PLEX, you are still paying a tangible price), in the case of DUST though, it costs you nothing to post here.
I think that needs to change, you need to at least put up any other accounts tied to your PS3 as collateral, and more importantly, you need to actually have PLAYED the game before spamming the forums. |
