candidate filter

I am thinking AF has some serious pull as being the largest and most responsive cfa forum on the web. Is there any way one of the boardmembers/charterholders can get in touch with the institute to verify cfa candidate numbers / charterholder statuses. AF is an “online community designed exclusively for CFA candidates and charterholders to discuss the CFA program,” but the exclusivity of AF to members/candidates clearly does not hold as xray is admittedly not a candidate or member and is at least two years out from becoming a L1 candidate. RR was clearly aat fault but at least he’s a candidate. if xray can come onto this forum and wreak this much havoc, disrupt WC and probably drive AF traffic down, whats to stop him? how is a ban going to stop him from creating another username and coming on again?

please share any thoughts

I disagree with this suggestion, since many good commenters here are neither CFA candidates nor charterholders. Furthermore, this requirement would require commenters to submit their identity to AF, which is highly undesirable and will discourage new people from joining.
