THIS ENTIRE PROBLEM COULD BE SQUASHED IN TWO SECONDS, EXCEPT THAT THIS MORONS THAT OWN THIS SITE ACTUALLY WANT THIS SITE TO BE USED TO CREATE CHAOS.

TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM, WHEN SOMEONE SIGNS UP A NEW ACCOUNT... THEY WOULD ONLY BE ABLE TO POST IN INTRODUCTIONS SUB... UNTIL THEY ARE ALLOWED INTO THE SITE AS A FULL MEMBER.

BUT THEN, YOU WOULD NEED TO HAVE COMPETENT MANAGEMENT OVERSEEING THE SITE.

/u/usehername does not qualify as competent management.

sorry, charlies.

This is a good idea

It is an interesting idea, but who approves people to go from the introductions sub to the rest of the site? If this approval process gets hijacked by shills then the site is over. That's the weak point of it. And also it would slow growth even more. But even with those downsides considered, it might be worth trying on a new website

Trusted-team and community.
AND importantly the trusted-team and community also watches others in the trusted-team for anyone failing to live up to their trust and the site's charter declaring the important values, ethics, goals, etc.

If this approval process gets hijacked by shills then the site is over.

Everything in the open. The shills can and will whine all day long, but without effective access they can't subvert it all.

That's the weak point of it.

Wrong. The weakness is in inaction, lack of communication, and lack of community input.

_And also it would slow growth even more.

Pure speculation.
Doing something is better than nothing and policy shifts can be retracted if they fail.

But even with those downsides considered, it might be worth trying on a new website

Why not try here?
