Invite only spaces. New members have mentors who are responsible for them. Anyone can be expelled for any reason at any time.
It's amazing how much the tone changes when someone is on the line for breaking a 10k machine and having to pay for everyone else using an equivalent machine commercially while they get it fixed.
- gooseus 8y ago> New members have mentors who are responsible for them. Does that imply that if you vouch for a new member that you are also expelled if they are or share the cost of their fuckups?
- reitanqild 8y agolobste.rs does something similar: Invite only. But any member can hand out invites. If there's a trend however that you invite the wrong persons I think you can get banned or punished somehow yourself. Edit, exact rules: """There's no limit on how many invitations a user can send (though that might be prompted by scaling problems in the future). When accounts are banned for spam, sockpuppeting, or other abuse, moderators will look up the invitation tree to consider disabling their inviter's ability to send invitations or, rarely, also banning. """ Also there is a public list tree on the site of who invited who: https://lobste.rs/u https://lobste.rs/u

- coldtea 8y ago>Invite only spaces. New members have mentors who are responsible for them. Anyone can be expelled for any reason at any time. Will still end up being a problem if the intention is to preserve the original vision. Mentors change over time, and 2nd and 3rd generation members (mentors of mentors etc) will form gangs and have their own ideas of how things should be.
- komali2 8y agoThat sounds like something they could happen in any recruitment system, even open invite.
- crawfordcomeaux 8y agoI wonder what a culture centered around non-violent communication might lead to, since it was developed to address issues with gangs.
- coldtea 8y agoI don't think it will have much effect. Non-violent communication practicing communities find their own ways to split into fractions -- for it's the clash of egos, ideas, aims, and private interests that create conflict, and those won't disappear by decision or fiat to avoid them.
