Counter-troll measures

On March 25, 2004, Rusty closed off new user accounts because of posting of an image he and others found offensive, which photoshopped his wife's face onto a pornographic image [2]. He later announced he was going to implement new user sponsorship [3]. Many users believed that it would be the beginning of the end of Kuro5hin [4] [5] and some believed the whole scheme wouldn't work at all. [6] On July 13, 2004, Rusty reopened new user accounts and informed the community that he was abandoning the idea of user sponsorship. [7]
