To the title of the Poll I say 'No' because a new user ought to be able to submit something interesting even if they haven't said anything in the forum. That said, I second the idea of rate limiting based on low karma.
It would be an interesting dynamic if it cost X karma to submit an article, if you're karma was zero, you could submit once a day or something...
- neilk 18y agoI initially agreed with you, but in a world where anybody can generate as many accounts as they want, allowing users with zero karma to submit doesn't change anything. If we want to restrict posting access, the community has to have some pre-approval process. Whether it's by comment karma, friend graph, required posting approval by someone else with karma > N, etc.
