I think if anything, it's not restrictive enough. The idea is that HN acts as a community filter for membership, and 200 is really not much for an active member of the community.


You would need a threshold of course. But having that would also mean there would be a fringe demand for people who are above the threshold.

Thus, if this is done, there could be demand for a job board where non-threshold-meeting HN members can employ threshold-meeting HN members to post their job ads. Ok, partly kidding.


What value would you suggest?


If the main point is to filter out recruiters, then 100 or 2 years should be fine. There's no need to filter out less active posters.


For a brief moment there I thought you were suggesting that it should only be available to people who registered 100 or 2 years ago


Same as the downvoting threshold (500).


I think anything from 200 to 500 would work well. Anything at or over 1000 is problematic since to get that you need to be quite active on the site.


500+; the downvoting threshold should be enough.
