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.

    This all isn’t happening immediately. It’ll be debated for a good while, and then voted on, and then it’ll take some work to actually implement assuming it passes. No one’s going to go through everyone’s account individually to verify their vote, we’ll need a bot for that.

    Also, I don’t think 2 weeks is that long at all. The vast majority of everyone’s time on this instance they will be eligible for voting. I really don’t see why 2 weeks when they first make an account is such a huge amount.
