Aussie Zone Signups (aussie.zone)

I'm wanting to lock down site signups. I need your help on what question to put to applicants that can be used to vet their application.

Why do this? I expect that as lemmy matures and grows, it will gain the attention of trolls etc that we do not want here.

Also with Beehaw defederating some larger instances with open signups, I'd like to avoid the same fate.

Current signup question is "Will you break the rules, be obnoxious or otherwise a negative presence on this site?" I'm open to suggestions for improvements :)

Off topic: weird bug. I'm seeing your post as having 5 upvotes and -1 downvotes. Not 1 downvote, negative one downvote.

I'm seeing the same. Weird.

"Yeah, but only after the fifth pint" ... Access granted, but limited to /Perth?

(Here I am, writing this from Rockingham, WA, after a Friday afternoon in the city)

More seriously, I think that's fine, as long as there's no huge influx of people. Trolls won't tell you they will be disruptive, so moderation needs to happen in any case. The signup form is more a way to set expectations, I reckon.
