It might be time to raise posting costs ... people are posting absolute repetitive garbage.

It would be neat to make posting costs dynamic. There's some optimal flow of posts, so why not use some form of peak pricing?

Great idea! That sounds like such a rabbit hole though.

That sounds like such a rabbit hole though.

You said that like it's a bad thing. Isn't this a fun problem to think about?

Here's a really simple jumping off point: Posting cost = number of posts on SN in the past hour

Definitely not a bad thing. It's such a good thing it's a bad thing! I'm surrounded by rabbit holes.

That's actually so simple it's brilliant.

Thanks, I just checked and that would be about 10 sats for the next post. Pretty reasonable for now and it scales well with new users

What if, instead of having a cool down period, a users posting cost increase or decrease by certain x% amount which is determined by the success of the previous post?

The more successful the previous post, the less your next post cost. I think this would deter users from posting random stuff and it would encourage them to make sure what they post are valuable to the community.

You can have a scale: horrible (between 0-100 sats), good (101-500 sats), excellent (501 upwards). Depending on where the previous post ranks by the time a user post something new, the post fees will get a % increase or decrease according to that rank.

That's a nice twist. It's difficult to communicate but might be worth doing.

I'm glad you like the idea.
