Funny/coincidental that the paper is paywalled and needs an account, thanks for the preprint! What’s the best compromise? Fandom sites are a category that doesn’t not represent all site contributions. The high value contributions are changed more likely due to the volume, scaling will have different properties which the paper mentions in group size and how Wikipedia has bots to detect it, but there is no reason why a fandom site can’t have API tools to do that as well. I liked the mention of a captcha as well, to prevent the lower quality spamming, which can be removed through reputation through IP when they make consistent high quality contributions. Wikipedia has shadow accounts made with IP, and remove contributions from low quality additions by filtering them, so the best compromise to me seems to require accounts that don’t look like accounts IP, device recognition, and identification without official registration. On websites with required accounts, I don’t see any evidence that accounts contribute to quality, it’s more important to have a community that cares for quality, many sites need registration and just have large amounts of single use accounts that required registration, and sites like Reddit will tie posts to a username and often have an ego attached with their site score for a quick unfair value judgement which is popularity based, the judgement on a post is often tied with history, rather than judging the post by its own merits, while wiki contributions will not usually be knowingly tied to certain users.
