[Coco] The Facebook "TRS-80 Color Computer (CoCo)" now has 2, 500 Members!

[Stephen Fischer]

Check each name to see if they have posted useful CoCo questions / 
answers. That will give you a white list.

If no posts, check if they have posted CoCo elsewhere, questions / 
answers (Facebook is a good place to try.) Add to the White list.

The rest send an E-mail saying that they will be dropped unless they 
answer some of a list of questions or send you a CoCo.

But really, anyone who misbehaves here is quickly drop so what is the 
point to look for fakes.
