Well said. I feel that the structure of the site already does a good job of encouraging good discussion and content. I can understand the frustration of dealing with new users, but if we have any hope of this site building into a community beyond just the early and influential members, we need to think carefully about its policies and how to structure it.

I definitely see kb's point, and I think that it's true that something should be done. It might be helpful to provide other filters, like only showing users who have received a circle'ing, or something like that. I'm just really hesitant to support anything that makes it harder for new users to be seen and heard.
