Nowadays, most of our community members are having multiple accounts, because of this community ranking disturbs and also there will be possibility of violation happenings like Fake job post etc.

This can be overcome by verifying their profile. If a user wants to be our community member, then he/she has to verify their profile. unverified profiles will have certain limitations like they won't be ranked, or they can't post or comment like wise.

By this, we can build a healthy and a trusted community.



Do you have examples of community profiles that create the problems you write about.

It's not a topic we moderators experience. Fake job post, and such are either already detected by the automatic spam detection, or moderators will just delete them.

There is no reason to restrict people of having multiple accounts (to have more PE's as they have space limit). OutSystems even allows you to connect your accounts, so they clearly don't mind people having multiple accounts.

If people have multiple accounts, most of the time they use one actively, so the others are at the bottom of the ranking. Even if one member would use 2 accounts actively, both would be ranked lower that if all contributions would be done by one account. 

I don't really see a problem that needs fixing.


Hi @Daniel Kuhlmann,

I'm just saying the possibilities, one can create a fake account with random names, and anything can be done with those accounts. We can't be cautioned every time, If the respective account holder is a verified person, then our community will be even more secured and trusted one. As our community is getting bigger day by day, so I think it will be definitely helpful.

Do you have examples of those profiles, where we see the issues that you describe?

No, but as I already said, There may be possibilities. I'm just suggesting to build a healthy environment. 

In understand your suggestion, all I am saying is that in think the community is already a healthy safe environment, and (automated) processes are in place to keep it like that.

I agree with Daniel,

Very little spam finds it's way into the community pages, and when it does, it usually lasts only a couple of hours.

There is little to no problems with the community pages being unsafe or confusing.  

How would you even do that, 'verify' ? I for one am not a fan of going through any burocracy for this, and I'd rather have OutSystems spend their community budget on features.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

P.S. As I'm always running into the limits of my PE, thanks for the idea of using multiple accounts to create extra PE's. @Daniel Kuhlmann , are you sure this is not frowned upon ?

Hi guys @Dorine Boudry @Daniel Kuhlmann,

This is my personal opinion only. I didn't meant our community is unsafe, I just gave a suggestion. If you find this inappropriate, Kindly remove this idea.

Hi Nandhakumar,

It isn't appropriate, it's good to understand where an idea comes from, and we have a discussion about it to understand each other. Now it is clear, this is your opinion, not based on actual situation of the state of the community.

Keep contributing!

Regards,

Daniel
