Since it's come to my attention that certain communities have been purposely posting troll secrets for the lulz, I'm going to start getting harsher on what counts as a non-troll secret, especially regarding the fandom involved.

ETA2: No, this isn't only SPN fandom. This goes for everyone else, too.

Just a heads up.

And apologies in advance if any real secret posters get caught up in this.

In my opinion, F!S is kind of built on wank, and there's no use trying to pretend you're above it. However, it's your right as a mod to try and maintain some semblance of order, etc.

The ways you've suggested of getting around this problem, however, don't seem like they're going to work, um, at all. (Even if you require an additional post to verify that a secret is not a troll, it doesn't prevent trolls from claiming to be real.) If you can think of some way to actually get around this problem, more power to you, but it seems pretty inevitable to me.
