If a particular user gets downzapped enough then their new content will start in "outlawed" status, which is similar to them being muted.
We probably need to be more diligent about downzapping, since a new wave of stackers will likely flow in with this bull market phase.
Is that how it works?
After a while, they probably just create new accounts?
reply
That is how I remember k00b explaining it. They might create new accounts, but you can't see if your own posts are outlawed.

Another thing that worries me a bit is the links. Here we use the links as resources to teach or recommend some article or content. Maybe I'm being too paranoid, I don't know, but I have thought about it a lot.
reply
People learn pretty quickly that spamming links is expensive and won't get much engagement until people get to know you.
I believe territory owners can prohibit certain post types, so a territory could become purely for discussions. Eventually, they'll probably make it possible to charge different amounts for different post types and that would give owners another way to cut down on spam.

Someone mentioned it somewhere at some point and I just assume everything will get implemented eventually.

Really? I don't believe you haha. I'm like a lady who only knows how to restart her cell phone hahaha. That's why I fall into paranoia, I wouldn't like SN to be hit by scammers.
