I don't know if this is a good idea or not, so don't be afraid to respond negatively. I'm a big boy.

I suggest Poal place a limit on sub creations by new users. Meaning that before a new user can create a sub, they have a minimal amount of activity here. Maybe something like you need to be at least Level 6 ... as we now have with being able to see up and down vote details ... before you can create a new sub.

This would allow new users to acclimatize to Poal and see what we're all about before they jump in. To become active contributors here, rather than someone just looking for an escape valve from elsewhere. It'll help get good new users interested in Poal, rather than just reestablishing some empire they had on whatever forum, which has been forced out.

Level number isn't as important, and again, this may not be a 'great' idea, I'll let you guys chew on it. But am just tossing this out for consideration. But consider a minimal limit for new users on this.

Seems like they would be used to it considering the CCP thing voat has (if they still have it...?) But damn it makes me a little sad to see an influx based on something other than an individual looking for a better alternative. You know fuckers will use the down vote button for more than just spam. And that is probably the biggest thing I currently love about Poal. DV=SPAM. NOTHING ELSE! Or I am misreading/interpreting incorrectly...? I am frequently out of the loop. I do have faith in the admins to address all of this :)

Hopefully admin rein them in ... otherwise bad for Poal

At least since Poal doesn't separate points from posts and comments it's an easier threshold than Voat's CCP system. Considering the informal policy on down votes, even having a CCP system could be easier than on Voat.

To me the best thing here is the informal no down votes suff. I rarely if ever down voted anything but spam anywhere, but some people get all bent outta shape over that. This is better and less stressful for all I think.
