Is that how it works? After a while, they probably just create new accounts?

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.

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.

This was not on my radar yet but sounds useful!

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

Interesting, I like that idea. It would be great if more people joined in to give ideas, good ideas.

What worries you about the links? Isn't the risk here like clicking on any other random link on the internet?

Oh great, I was just asking, I'm not an expert on this stuff. It was an idea that came to my mind. I trust what you say.

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.

yes

After a while, they probably just create new accounts?

They don't see that they are outlawed when they are logged in. It's a bit like a shadow ban.

But yes, they can create new accounts and start from scratch.

I understand it's not like X where they leave you a message saying you're suspended. It's better that way, so they don't know. I like it.

This shadow ban idea is genius.
