i have this (not new) suggestion for the coh2 balance and gameplay forums.
in order to post in these forums, your forum account is required to provide a link to your playercard.
this will make it a lot easier to sort out people who know what they are talking about.
Yes, because by that logic, people without a player card, or people with X amount of hours played can't have an opinion about something game related.
As I understand why you have these motives, you are taking this a step too far by saying " sort out people who know what they are talking about". Could you define what makes someone " knowing what they are talking about?" Is " Hours played" the deciding factor here? "Amount of wins"? "Ladder rank"?
The coh2.org balance forums are known for their, let me put it mildly, "open ground discourse". Everything gets posted, the usual suspects blend in and throw in their opinions, facts, whatever you may call it. All the different colours of opinions, facts, statements, questions and offtopic responses get thrown together on one big pile and it creates this browny mess which, to be fair isn't what anyone wanted. You can try to filter the mess but in the end the damage has been done and you move on to the next post.
In the end, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and freedom of speech makes us able to post whatever we want. If you want a "clean and regulated" discussion on balance you're too late for the coh2.org forums. They can't be saved (that easily) anymore.
Oh, don't worry about Relic entertainment being influenced by these tens of thousands of posts regarding game balance, unit balance or faction balance. They won't read most of it, and if they do, it's in their own topics and just to clarify something.
