This latter is the kind of "Graduated Access" thing which Grarpamp was arguing in favour of, yesterday.

'Graduated Access' is where a service applies certain heuristics in order to qualify the validity of an account. Such may include things like, logins over time, messages sent, feedback [from others to helpdesk] received, length of time and activity since account origination, 'likes', p2p user based ratings, etc. Explicitly, and not merely, whether or not they exit from a tor/i2p/etc node or not (unfortunately the case today). As that would be arbitrarily prejudiced against certain 'real' peoples who care to preserve various sensitive aspects, for whatever personal or philosophical beliefs or reasons that are valid to them.
