"interestingly enough, another board, dailyheights also added restriction and now has only a handful of people who post it - really lost its energy."
haha. oh, the irony - it took me 10 minutes how to figure out how to log in and respond to this!!
While it's not true that "only a handful" of users post to the Daily Heights board (aka Prospect Heights board at Brooklynian.com), it is definitely less freewheeling than the newer Park Slope board, which is unrestricted and rapidly on the verge of eclipsing the volume/traffic that we are seeing on the PH board.
We locked down the PH board out of respect for our volunteer moderators, who like Brownstoner, were sick of dealing with spam and trolls. There are other solutions out there for both, but it's just a matter of getting around to it!
