Implement verification into these petitions to prevent easy abuse of the system.
At least basic user verification should be implemented to make it harder for people to abuse the system by hacking, or using "bots", or scripts to unfairly influence petitions on the petition.parliament.uk domain.
By adding a simple Captcha verification button for example, people would not be able to write scripts to fill out the petitions automatically, thus making it much harder to misrepresent UK citizens.
An example where this has happened is:

As acknowledged by your official twitter.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
