I know what you are saying. It's funny, just prior to the syncretic influx, we had almost talked ourselves into an invite system. I recall that in the wee hours while driving to launch that snail in a weather balloon, we were talking about the merits of it. I was inspired by lobste.rs invitation tree approach. It would be interesting if rather than just earning badges as your hubwheel turned, you earned invites. I think that ideally, rather than an aggressive front end filter, we have a situation where the right people stick around, and the wrong people don't. I think that we have been fairly successful there, but it's the slow creep that we all worry about.
