I'd really like it if we could drop the (in my opinion) utterly hysterical notion that just because this feature might come into existence, therefore every active user on the site will use it in order to block new users out. While I think that feature would be nice, I highly doubt we're going to see mass ignoring of newbies. I doubt that I would use it, I doubt that thenewgreen would use it, I doubt lil and insomniasexx and nowaypablo would use it, and judging by your response you wouldn't use it either. So why are we still dithering about last-world apocalypse "OH NO PEOPLE MIGHT GET IGNORED" scenarios? Flag, for the record, my irritation isn't at you but at the fact that multiple users have now shuddered, clutched their pearls, and gone essentially But - but - but if this exists, new users won't be interacted with in any way at all! a theory which I find alarmist, reactionary, exaggerated, and about as likely as any apocalyptic, 100% use scenario.
