Worthy of note: I created mass outrage by suggesting the ability to personally ignore new users for a few days without impacting their ability to post one iota. I further stated that Hubski should emphasize personal content curation and eschew top-down moderation and editorial control.

Your response is to automatically enforce a site-wide mute for all new users, the thing I turned blue in the face telling Tidders I wasn't asking for.

What you're effectively advocating is that very "notion" that "upsets people" and "gives you pause."

What I asked for was a whole lot less than you suggest, but people got all torch'n'pitchforky because they thought I was asking for what you suggest. But you're hesitant to go with my solution because people got mad mistaking it for what you suggest.

Food for thought.

Ha. That's absolutely true.
