Well, title says it clear. We might need some condition to prevent trolls from creating a lot of accounts and taking over whole instance. I’d like to discuss ideas for this. Like, amount of days on instance could work, but I’m not sure if it would work out very well. Anyway, please share your opinions on this whole subject.

EDIT: There’s a lot of opinions, but, at least for me, looks like whatever system we’ll come up with, it will either be based on time from account creation or on activity(or maybe both). Correct me if i wrong.

    Think this is kinda a repost on the vote mechanics. But we need to come to some consensus on how something has “passed” and then do a vote on that.

    Unfortunately that discussion is already so cluttered it’s kinda hard to determine what the best course of action is. Think this would be easier to implement on a more feature rich platform. I.e. the vote thread gets stickied for N days and user created posts are petitions with some metric to get stickied for the final vote.

    Might need to limit votes in this community to this concept till it gets figured out.

      Well, it’s only kinda repost, cause that one was more focused on when voting ends and who will count votes rather than who is allowed to vote.

        Fair. I kinda generalized it all under “voting rules and regulations”.
