    I'm planning on seeing if my partner wants to go out and spend it with me. We're relatively new together and they love halloween, so it would be a fun date-night. Sadly though it's not late autumn for us, it's late spring because Australia, so it's going to be hot and the sun won't set until almost almost 8pm...

    I like the shortcuts idea but I worry that you'd end up with too much crossover. ~f.b.coffee would also make sense if we're talking about ~food.baking.coffee, since coffee is a very common...

    I like the shortcuts idea but I worry that you'd end up with too much crossover. ~f.b.coffee would also make sense if we're talking about ~food.baking.coffee, since coffee is a very common ingredient in baking. It would also work for ~food.brands.coffee or whatever. I just worry that you'd end up with far more ambiguity than is ideal!

    What about implementing some kind of age/reputation based system? It could be based on accruing a certain number of votes, within a certain amount of spread, and after a certain amount of time?

    For instance, "you can only create 1 new ~* per 8 week period, and only after you have accrued at least 8 weeks' operation on the site and 500 votes on a minimum of 50 posts/comments." That would make certain that only people genuinely engaged in creating communities could actually create them, because it sets the bar for creation of ~'s as being "someone who is active and positive in the community as a whole".
