What do you think about some other kind of filter? I do see your point that an influx of users can pollute the site sometimes, and I know that earlier users like you have had to deal with this issue much more than newer users like me. I think I just have a strong reaction against something that would hide new users' activity for anyone simply because they are new.

What about a filter that only shows users who have received a circle'ing, or users who have at least one follower? There's got to be a way to encourage active, contributing new users while discouraging spammers and useless posts.
