This morning I noticed a starred image the quality of which stood out like a shining beacon so, naturally, I clicked on the photographer's profile to see what other delights he had in his port. However it was immediately apparent that said photographer had a hotch-pot of styles and quality which were far from coherent. This prompted me to reverse image search the photos he claimed to be his and what do you know, they're stolen from various sources...
It's easy enough to check this so I have to say I'm disappointed that he was granted membership. Even more disappointed when I see that he claims this in his profile:

Now, for any photographer who's been around for a while claims like that will invite immediate scrutiny. You don't expect to see photographers with that sort of CV on internet modelling sites every day of the week...
So, my question is - what can be done to tighten up the review process so that obvious charlatans like him don't get granted profiles in future?
