Put people off, by having auithor sign articles, is going to get rid of 
a lot of the junk anyway. How many people are going to bother to 
set up a sig and register with the server just to send it off-topic stuff.

Alos we could insert a time delay between upload and availability, 
for instance if someone wrote an article it could go into the system 
and be available for reviewers/editors to look at it and send 
comments to the author, after two weeks or so the server could 
send the author a message saying "here are the comments made 
on this article, would you like for your article to become generally 
available now or would you prefer to withdraw/edit it ?"

These two things should put off most people who would look to 
abuse the system.
