O glorious snark gods! My writing has improved tenfold, my salary has doubled, my sex-life is perky*, and I have YOU to thank for it!
*May or may not be true.
Seriously, though, what a remarkable community. Just wanted to say thanks for the enlightentainment. Feel free to flag as drunken maudlinism, which is what this is (but tempered by wormwood clarity).
Standouts: Teh Lynnster, Flappy, TKX, Stav the Wonder Chickie, and LanguageChapeau.
Yer good people. Merci.
And now for the non-nonsensical, non-vague portion of this presentation; a suggestion. How's about implementing access premiums? As in: five bucks for ten hours of monthly access to the site; ten bucks for thirty (say); and twenty for unlimited access.
Favorites could be converted into suitable credits (100 favorites = 10 hours, for instance).
This would moderate n00b deluge, reward longstanding contributors, and generate enough cash to run the damned place.
I don't see any downside. Do you?

Drunkenness aside, the access premium is the worst idea I have ever heard of. What an asshole-ish move for a freaking community blog. Geez. The damned place is being run by cash from ads and sign-ups, TYVFM.

I see a huge downside, YamwotIam... one of the great things about MeFi is that it's open to basically everyone. $5 isn't much of a bar to unlimited access. Start charging people by hour for their access? How would you manage that? If I open a page at home in the morning and leave it open until I get back from work, is that my ten hours?
And using favourites as currency... euuuuurgh. No. Just no.

I come in to the thread expecting an orgy of similarly outrageous reply and I find levity. Now I am not snark monger or even snark agitator. In fact, I am pleasantly surprised if not a bit underwhelmed. There is a perverse part of me that calls for a response in kind to this man's ravings.
But I think perhaps the solution to the n00b deluge, besides the typical castigations for stupid behavior that are applied semi-indiscriminately-- I think the solution is in the new people themselves. I call upon you quick witted people, men and women, people of every class and color (non-color if you refer) to take a stand. For every troll there should be a newbie responding with an insightful comment. For every flame out there should rise an even handed newbie to explain the guidelines. For each metatalk post complaining about comment deletion or post removal there should be respectful e-mails or IMs to the mods. My fellow n00bs, the answer is not higher premiums charged in the monetary sense. No, the answer is higher premiums charged of our own responsibility and posting thoughtfulness.

New users are a good thing, 'long as they toe the line, salute the flag, share amusing information about their sex lives, write positive articles about us in major publications, buy me beer, click on ads, avoid tired memes, feed quonsar raw meat, make good music, don't let their alligator mouths overstep their jaybird asses, post seminekkid shoutout pics, capitalize, punctuate, fold and mutilate, flame out amusingly, weigh in intelligently, don't goatse, don't have a go at me, and don't ever admit to posting while under the influence, unless they have first bought me some beer.

Instituting those five-dollar, implicitly second-class accounts would actually have the opposite effect. I think that those would attract spammers, trolls and other types who don't feel a strong connection to the site or want to contribute to the community.
If it only costs $5 to buy the right to broadcast ten hours of asshattery, you can bet that people will take advantage of it.

If MetaFilter cost more than it does now, I would never be here. In fact, I'm wondering if I can get part of my $5 back on some sort of sliding scale system so that I can go buy a beer. I guess that would be enough for a half-pint or something.

Well if you're unemployed then you make $0/hr. 2 * $0/hr = $0/hr. Ergo drunk posting is GUARANTEED to at *least* double your salary.
Aahhh, see I should've been specific. I was referring to doubling my CURRENT salary, not my upcoming non-salary that I'm trying to avoid thinking about.

If Matt wants to make more money from current members, he should put a fixed price on everyone's head, say $250, that anyone can pay toward, such that when the threshold is reached, the member is banned.
The minimum payment could be $2, the maximum $10: the running total of pledged payments would be displayed on the profile page, and you could click on it to see the amount pledged by other members by name in list form. When the threshold was reached and the member banned, you'd have a week to fulfill your pledge, and then you couldn't log in until you made your promised payment. Anyone could withdraw their pledge at anytime up until the moment of banning.

I made the mistake of commenting in this bastard earlier. Since I'm fucked anyway, I might as well join the blind stampede onwards to the horizons of doom.

spitbull: original poster YamwotIam has already made it clear that his was a drunken post, carried on the liquid wings of glorious drunkenness, and has since admitted the error of his ways. He and everyone else has already thoroughly dismembered this idea and thrown its body parts into the vast churning sea of forgotten bad ideas. Now just let the man work off his headache in peace, okay?

randomly wandering back onto the subject of n00bs, it seriously bothers me that I'm a 40k-er, we're well into the 50ksomethings (anyone know the newest member stat? cortex?) and I still consider myself a n00b. ugh. I hate being a n00b. *mutters resnetfully*

Yeah I'm drunk and going back into the old posts, so what? I just like it when someone goes 'blaaaah' all over the screen sometimes and I like to relive it with all the pithy one-liners that I would have interjected with if I'd been a. in the same time zone and b. quick on the uptake. Just thought I'd add this before the thread was closed cos actually yeah, I'm really pissed and thought I'd hang this on the end of someone else's nightmare. That's the kind of coward I am *sob!*
