Proposal: Restrict Forum Access to $WLFI Holders via Wallet Connection or Team Verification

General
1

Hello everyone,

I’d like to propose an improvement to secure our forum and ensure high-quality discussions.

Currently, the forum is open to everyone, which unfortunately allows some malicious users to verbally attack $WLFI holders. This harms the community atmosphere and distracts from the forum’s main purpose: bringing members together around the project.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: Proposal:

Limit forum access to $WLFI holders only, using two possible methods:

  1. Automatic wallet connection (Wallet Connect, Metamask, etc.) to verify token ownership.

  2. Manual verification by the Wlfi team, based on the wallet already connected to the official website.

Benefits:

  • Filter out outsiders or malicious users.

  • Ensure a safe and constructive space for discussions.

  • Strengthen trust and cohesion within the true community.

The goal is not to exclude curious users but to preserve a healthy discussion space for genuine $WLFI holders.

What do you think?

I prefer it to be open to everyone since WLFI means ‘World Liberty for the World.’

Also, it cannot “Filter out malicious users”; they could just buy a tiny amount of WLFI and access the forum to overrun it.

The forum being open to non-holders is actually specified in the Gold Paper. The Discord has areas that are only open to verified holders, if you aren’t a member there I’d recommend joining:

World Liberty Financial Retail Community

Agreed, will be more safety conversation, and the scammer will not access to the forum

So the scammer cannot buy $1wlfi and enter the forum as a holder? Sometimes we should stop and think 1st. Alot of silly stuff coming in these forums. Like people are dumb. I was expecting total alpha in this space! The crem de la creme so to speak. Does not leave optimism in the air, rather, scepticism! Just out of curiosity. Are there any mods or officials in here? At all, or ever? Anyone from the project? Any officials? Or is it just us? The ‘community’?

Sad but true.

The officials are only on this forum when the team has a proposal to make.

You can check the last seen time of the three moderators to verify.

I totally agree with this. The ones who really matter here are the actual holders of the project’s currency, and they should be the ones who stay within the forum. An open forum doesn’t really help, since the internet is full of scammers and haters.
To keep the project and the community healthy, the coordination team should step in soon — otherwise this could have a negative impact on tomorrow’s votes.

As for users who would like to participate in the forum but are not verified holders (e.g. have not completed KYC), there could be a practical solution: create separate channels. Some channels could remain open for everyone, while others would be locked and accessible only to verified holders. This way, all users can join the discussion, but only verified holders would have the right to vote in future consultations.

It’s also worth noting that scammers and haters would rarely go through the KYC process just to carry out their dirty work against the project and the community. Verification is something that early supporters have already done, and it acts as a natural barrier to bad actors.
