Very simple; The best way to do this is to ask for there units or ships, and dog tag numbers.

My idea is that a member would have to type in his ID each time he wanted entrance, and of course IE 7 and Firefox will remember those. A hacker or spammer would not have or hopefully not access to ID's and ship or unit numbers.

If a hacker tried and we caught him, just think, there is an agency that pays a reward for people impersonating Military people.

Why is it that people who don't care about the weather are the first to bitch about it when it changes

Not for or against. but the private forums are set up for 1 time approval. Once your name has been approved you always get in.

I put it that way because some people are worried that the forum would degenerate into a political firestorm. If we ask people to show members to write in there ship number, or ship name, unit or BOD number it would cut down on the annoyance sniping.

What makes you think that making it private would prevent that?

Is this intended just for active duty? Will veterans be welcome?

I don't like having the forum private. It won't necessarily degenerate into politics, but I think it will almost surely degenerate into inter-branch bickering whether public or private.

Why not set up your own Yahoo group for it? Chances are they already have one. Check these out:

If America has an official philosophy, it surely includes the belief in individualism, competition, private property, democracy, freedom, and a deep faith in education. This social philosophy is called "liberalism." GKM (1936)

Great, so when I piss off someone in that forum he can call up my CO and tell them I tried to send him illegal porn or something. That makes the forum sound even better.
