Thats a nuclear option imho. Need to have clear quality controls.

That would be a pretty clear one imho.

By clear quality controls i mean banning trolls on sight.

Sounds pretty labor intensive

I think mk should seriously consider this at some point, if only because before the reddit explosion, hubski was steadily gaining members based on word of mouth. Word of mouth essentially = invites.

The worst invite-only website I'm a part of is worlds better than the best public ones.

I will say that I don't think mk will ever consider it, because it seems to go against one of the semi-fundamental things he's consistently touted about hubski, which is the open sense of community. But there may come a day.

khaaan It has previously been on the table as a serious consideration. It's not on it at the moment, but I'm willing to do what we need to. I do believe that there are other ways to preserve the experience.
