I'm two days short of three weeks, so I'm going to take a bit of a risk and pester you with another question. If the majority of hubski users feel that way (and it seems like they do) why not make a policy change around it? Mute new users, or make the site invite/application only? If there's a two week or so delay between when people ask to join and when they are let in, that might encourage lurking. It could also be used to throttle new users so we don't swarm in and crowd out your discussions. I feel bad for people complaining about the reddit influx, but as one of them I'm also happy I found this place.
