There needs to be a way to filter out troll/fake accounts that join campaigns to block seats from other players or create spam. The current pick-up game option needs to be reworked also, as it helps trolling more than it does the OP. In the last few months, I have seen a significant increase in these accounts. Even today, two of my pick-up games were disrupted by accounts that: Spam 30+ new character sheets Roll 999d20 multiple times to flood the chat archive Cover the screen with a filled black square, hiding the page contents from other players and more

Hi Okra,  Not a comment on your suggestion, I like it. The way I prevent that sort of thing is that people make an application to me and then I accept individuals.  Some other options available to you: You can block players from creating or importing character sheets via settings in the Campaign Details page.  You can clear the chat archive (either temporarily or permanently) to remove the flood.  Artwork can be cleared via the Clear Drawings button.  If you provide the "and more" I might have options for those. 
I do that normally, but I occasionally run rather impromptu games, and the pick-up option helps advertise them more.  thanks for the tips too!

As a possible solution, perhaps allow the OP to create filters by requiring accounts to have a certain number of hours played on Roll20 before they can use the "join game" button. The others can still join, but only if the OP invites them.
