Security(?) problem with Ratings system
Made a test account and found that even though you can't make new posts you can rate them. Shouldn't there be a minimum number of posts needed to rate? Isn't this just opening the door up wide and begging the freekers to come over and disrupt us?

1. Won't disruptors just make the minimum number of posts required- and then do it anyway?

3. no security feature stops the really determined. the idea is to deter the merely determined.

4. Not if you make it harsh enough

Perhaps 500 or more posts

Might be best to make some meta-raters. Some way to stop stupid people from rating.

2. hmm. maybe you should expect about 1,000 "disruptive" recommendations!
good point, though.
