So create a whitelist? It's not a terrible idea but it really limits new users, which would keep the site from growing. I kind of do like the idea of a quarantined space for new users, a testing ground, but who then gets to decide if they're "real" enough to get out of this quarantined space? And don't you think the trolls will play nice for a bit in order to get around this restriction?

who gets to decide? can you honestly say that you cant make a list of your current users that you think highly enough of that they are able to tell if someone is a spammer or a trouble maker? i could make that list in about two minutes..

dont i think that trolls will behave until they get unquarantined? i am going to say this with respect that i dont think that you really appreciate the value of a think tank.. A think tank, at the most basic level, is a group of people that discuss things and they all share the common goal of seeking success for the think tank. thats not a bad description of a think tank, coming from an eighth grade dropout, is it?

keep in mind that my system of quarantining needs to be put before the think tank and that my description of the quarantining system was just a rough draft, the final quarantining system would be a finely tuned system that would be fully and properly defined by the think tank.

users that register here and are quarantined would appreciate that you must earn your privilege to post here.

users that behave well during quarantine could always be put back into quarantine.

with all respect, mr magnora7, you have done a fine job of getting this forum running, but you dont trust any of your users, do you?
