My solution is directed at those who present themselves as representing a FI.

If they are driven "underground", which I'm sure happens all the time anyway, then readers will look for verification elsewhere, in the same way they do with other posts.
On the other hand, if a person representing a FI says something, they will be be more likely to take it at face value. This is the advantage that someone who claims to represent a FI has.

My concern is specifically with people who present themselves as representing a FI.

Just because you and I have been involved with forums for years doesn't mean nothing can be done to improve them.

I've updated the forum rules, especially this item:

Do not promote your product, service, or business on this forum. This includes but is definitely not limited to announcements about new products and rates. The moderators reserve the right to determine what is considered promotional. Representatives from financial institutions are welcome, but you must 1) disclose your affiliation; and 2) stick to explaining the facts and helping others.

Disclose affiliation....why not their name and position too? That way we can very likely verify on their website to ensure they are credible. If they want to toot their horn.....let toot themselves too.

Disclosing name and position -- that seems like a reasonable request.

That's a good idea. They could be required to use their real name as their Display Name, and have a signature that links to their company profile or email for verification.
