a thread has just been closed that is a perfect example of this. the "delete the koran" thread. disucssions were for the most part amongst regular members going along just fine. there were a series of trolls that came in and Harry deleted their posts which is perfectly understandable. then he closed it. which I don't think is right. the trolls are going to continue to mob any juicy topic in the lounge. I don't want the lounge closed. I think that restricting it to a time as member really might be a good thing. takes you three days to get married, a month to buy a handgun, at least a waiting time to post in the lounge is resonable.
I don't think waiting times in the other forums, especially the device forums is a good idea as many times people come in just a few times when they get their device and have questions that make or break their using experience with it.
negative karma is a bad bad idea. just really bad. paying for membership, while a nice idea might possibly bar some people who have been good members.
I'd really like some more discussion on this. I have a feeling the situation will get worse before it gets better
