Trust links

Refinement. This ... hmm ... the article was originally published on my personal blog and went up well there, having received some pleasant reviews. Now, thanks to the presence of positive karma, I transfer the article to a public blog, since I am interested in the opinions of those many people who have not read it yet. If I did something bad, minus of course, but just explain what it is. Thank you in advance )



Description of the problem

In short, the problem is described as follows: I want to comment or look, but I can't. Suppose they sent me a link to an article / post / comment with the question “What do you think about this? Uncomment, support me! ”Following the link I see something like,“ Dear visitor, you will not see / comment on this because you are not registered. Come on ... sign up. "



As a developer, I understand the site administration perfectly well; no one wants to rake a mountain of spam or anonymous garbage in the comments. On the other hand, what to do if the resource interests me a little, but is the topic worthy?

Solution

Give registered and well-proven users the ability to send trust links of the form: resource.com/article/?__trustme=VeryBigAndUniqueHash . A visitor who came through such a link gains the privileges of viewing, commenting, etc. for a while and in a certain place. Something like a limited invite. Time may be the time of the session, one hour, until the end of the current day, the place - the article, section, the whole site. The choice remains for the administration.



Result

The visitor is satisfied: he sees what he wanted to see, he comments. The exchange of information is taking place :) In addition, the user can assess the capabilities of the resource and stay here forever.

The administrator is satisfied: the visitor received the link from a trusted user who will not send them to anyone. No one is immune from mistakes, and if an accidental troll is caught, it is much easier to determine the growing point of the legs and the measures of influence. Sent a link to slightly lower the karma / energy and send a warning in private. He himself will determine his degree of guilt and think well of whom to send links next time.



Variations

The idea adapts to the most diverse communities on a quantitative level. The conspiratorial Portal of the Masonic Lodge of Maloblipetska will distribute references one per year and only to those close to the Grand Master. Easy to draw analogies :)



In addition, you can vary the number of different hosts for a single link for mass publications. Varinatov many.
