Personally, I prefer the model used by lobsters and Tildes where you have to be invited to the community by another member.
- krapp 1y agoI find that a bit too extreme, although I understand why it's attractive. I like HN's "open door" policy, but I think green account abuse is just too rampant and it's getting worse. That isn't the fault of new people, it's the fault of established posters who want to troll while keeping their karma and reputations intact.
