Well, you can call me that, but that's not my name :-)

I'll not delete my comment. I'm worried, really, about two categories of abuse: 1) Abusers who are not persistent, but who create multiple accounts rapidly (i.e., aiming to get a quick laugh). They use Tor or VPNs to create accounts for 'easy' harassment. 2) Abusers who will take advantage of vulnerable users (i.e., "the long con") over multiple sessions, or who will act in bad faith over the long term.

Do you have data that indicates that people are unhappy with the level of service that 7 Cups provides?

With any product created, you'll have the potential of having trolls. I'm sure even 7 cups has it too. And generally trolls don't attack vulnerable people to the point where they're using proxy or VPN's. Let alone on voice calls.

There's not much data of how unhappy 7 cups members are (maybe they're happy).

But neither of those reasons are good enough to NOT try something. Because you won't know if you're gonna have trolls or if your users will have a better experience from a competitor unless you try it.
