Just limit troll-to-troll communicationJust limit troll-to-troll communicationPosted Dec 7, 2006 19:05 UTC (Thu) by proski (subscriber, #104)Parent article: LWN forums It was suggested for Slashdot but never implemented. Make it impossible for non-subscribers to see posts of other non-subscribers unless a subscriber has posted a reply. Trolling subscribers is not nearly as satisfying as trolling fellow freeloaders. A slightly softer version: make it impossible for a non-subscriber to reply to a comment by another non-subscriber until a subscriber has answered to that comment.

Just limit troll-to-troll communication Posted Dec 10, 2006 15:03 UTC (Sun) by kevinbsmith (subscriber, #4778) [Link] I like that idea.
Another simple way to cut noise is to limit users to one article post per 24 hour period. Often, the threads that get out of control are those where two people are yelling at each other every five minutes. Let's force people to stop, take a breath, and produce a thoughtful response.
Could be limited to non-subscribers, but I think it should be universal. Maybe subscribers get two posts per 24 hours (per article), or a post every 4 hours, or some similar limit.
