    If you want to get rid of troll threads, maybe don’t let brand new accounts create threads until they’ve reached a posting and/or time threshold.

    Nice idea. Posting threshold would be better because with a time threshhold they would simply create new accounts and leave them inactive until the curfew passes

    Shticky Guy- But what abt us quiet, innocent people who might have a question or discussion to start?

    I don’t think this is a good idea.

    I’d imagine that users who are here for five months and have already responded to 43 threads would be able to start a discussion.

    Posting threshold wont work either because they will just make a few innocent postings to get their account approved.

    You mean how a nonexisting rule would apply to a hypotetical user?

    Good one goq

    I think it would be a good idea to add personal blockers to people we suspect to be trolls (even though I don’t think ywn’s website accomodates for that)

    Following threads is complicated enough due to the moderation delay. Imagine if the thread was going in opposite directions because two groups of posters aren’t seeing each others posts.

    Goq: It’s probably one zealous baker, with dozens of cookies.

    What about limiting the number of accounts from each ip address?

    What about limiting the number of accounts from Australia?

    dash, The Goq – LOL!

    #840464

    dash: yep 🙂

    In summation: no way than the current one.

    BAD IDEA. How would I be able to start new threads. I hardly ever post here. I’m from the real quiet ones here.

    #840467

    yeah, ZK. And you would never have got your ‘how to start a thread’ thread going.
