MODERATORS
Unless you limit all votes to only count from subscribers. It would not stop dedicated trolls who simply subscribe purely in order to manipulate votes, but it would halt all casual drive-by noise.
I mean if you limited votes purely to subscribers as a new community, you'd get nowhere because no post would trend for anyone new to find the community.
Hrm... might still be worth it?
Or switch a community only after it increases to a certain size or at least passes an age threshold.
Or only allow votes from "trusted" instances, where moderation practices are actually enforced and serial abusers are detected and banned.
I think it should be completely up to community owners. I have no problem with them being able to make that choice.
It is!:-)
