The tension between maintaining the original quality and growing the size of the community by several orders of magnitude is, in my opinion, an unsolvable problem.

No amount of arrow-clicking, ignore list or banning can solve this.

The easiest way to control the quality of the community is to control its growth. Pay-wall, invites, etc. will all be vastly more useful than after-the-fact approaches.

When the barbarians are in the walls, you've already lost.
