Seeing how my question was deleted not once, but twice, I will now post the "suggestion" here.
I feel that members, particularly hosts, should be required to make contributions to the forum/community or have some sort of periodic verification. Case in point is a certain host that seems to post quite regularly in terms of time, yet does not reply to questions or PMs. Such actions lead not only myself, but other longstanding members to believe this host of superior negative stature to be a bot.
Now should a bot be allowed to post? Personally I feel not, hence why members should be required to make some sort of contribution or verify they are indeed a person and not some sort of ad bot. As to what exactly should the verification be? Who knows, maybe a PM or post to ensure they are not a simple copy/paste bot. I am sure someone can come up with an easy system.
