we can now start finishing requests as soon as they've been made, by using the post number and call her "post 6789 @VEF"

wasn't meant serious, it was more the irony of it all, when you want to continue using these numeric IDs for unknowns listed @egafd or iafd.
next time some guy comes around and wants to know "who is unknown female xxx @iafd" and you close his request by telling him: "you already have the answer".

no it's not, sorry.
a working name at a maybe random publisher is still more of an ID as a model who is just called "unknown xxx". Even the most random publisher which gave a very random name like "Lucy" to some model is listed with this pretty random name. and imho this is something we can use to solve requests, but not an ID card which already calls her "we don't know her, but we assign her to our database with number xxxx".
such (good) information can be collected inside requests like more unnamed material, like more material with just story names or like unclear suggestions. this is all stuff collected inside a request until it's really solved with something reliable - and not vague.
until then, it's not solved. what's the problem with that nowadays?
(addendum: i agree that it's sometimes not easy to find the right measure to define "what's a reliable ID" and what's not, but "unknown female xxx" or "xnk yyy" was never a reliable ID to solve a request in this forum, and we should keep going with this procedure)
