| Aug 18, 2013 at 17:07 | comment | added | user9072 | There is a feature request to that extent on meta.SO meta.stackexchange.com/questions/186954/… Yes sometimes the reviewing is a nuissance in particular since one is called to it by this highly visible thing...hard to ignore, but then in general it feels like a useful activity so it is not so bad. | |

Just registering on 2 forums at once shouldn't be an easy bypass of the "spam safeguards" :). One could, probably, introduce the "approval" requirement for the new users instead but we are already getting "approve changes" notifications in higher amounts than I'm willing to process on some days (fortunately, there are kinder souls out there). | |
| Aug 18, 2013 at 16:17 | comment | added | user9072 | @fedja yes it is not a very high barrier, but I think in particular for infrequent users it can still be an issue. Because if one does not visit frequently many of the questions one sees already are answered but one might still have some additional remark that might make a good comment but not really a new answer. To be precise, let me add that it is not sufficient to be registered with an other site, but one needs 200 (or perhaps 201) points on another site. | |
| Aug 18, 2013 at 16:04 | comment | added | fedja | 50 rep. points is a pretty low threshold anyway. If you are already registered with any other Stack Exchange forum, you start at 101 just after opening a new forum account. I would say, that is the lowest "spam protection" setting that still makes sense :). | |
