Former member @MapleDots left an interesting comment on TLDinvestors, with an idea about a new forum section at Namepros.
I suggested namepros make a new forum section for verified accounts, real names or real business names, and make that for sale forum exclusive to verified members. As more members verify the forum would become more and more popular and after a couple of years they could drop the other for sale forums and expect everyone to be verified. Verification is the only way namepros can work, one cannot conduct business with a faceless avatar, there will always be fraud if that is allowed.
As a real business man and someone who depends on his transactions to be legitimate I can only say that members would be far more responsible when posting if they were not anonymous.

Overall I like the idea, it would mean less bidders in an auction in my opinion, many will not get verified, some for legit reasons others for nefarious reasons.
