The first post I viewed (I'm brand spanking new) had an awful troll comment. It was quickly removed, but it was mentioned they'd made comments on six different post before being banned. What protects the community from an instance that let's anyone join? Hope this was the correct place to post.

If a server does something awful like encouraging spam or allowing abuse or whatever, other servers can block it. The worse a server behaves, the more other servers will block it, and the very worst-behaved servers will find themselves completely isolated.
