mk: New issue I think, spambots are following users and triggering emails, see igolfthailand who is following 28 users. Do we not have a captcha and email confirmation in place?
We don't want Hubski to turn into an echo chamber. Easily circumventable, though I don't envy the idiot programming this part just for Hubski. May be the best solution, in part because it wastes the programmer's time for this particular instance of a website, and that's effort you don't want to put in. Would deter bots and common users alike, though I like the idea. I, for example, would've stayed away from a website that requires money to partake in it. Even if I knew somehow that I'd've enjoyed it here, I wouldn't have had any money to donate back then. Likewise.Invite only?
Comment hubwheel before posting enabled?
One-time donation?
Totally onboard for testing / discussion though.
I am positive the site has had this happen already, though I am unsure of the usernames I could link here. There is definitely a new account today that I think meets this behaviour, I'm going to keep my eye on them and see how it plays out. Most of this is an old debate anyway:Easily circumventable, though I don't envy the idiot programming this part just for Hubski.
