Interesting thoughts.
In last 6 days we got 24 questions about Hibernate and around 30-40 spam
messages.
That's why I think it's good to have that option enabled, otherwise the
forum will not look professional at all.
Once a user has been accepted, any new post will propagate automatically.
So it's just a one time thing for every user of this forum.

I am confused. Is the whole forum not about community as well? I would
assume that
there are many questions which are discussed and solved by the community
itself w/o
any interaction of the dev team.
Also, there is no reason why the Hibernate team should not be reachable on
Stackoverflow.
In fact, I am ourdays exclusively on Stackoverflow, because it imo ways
superior to
our (technologly) outdated forum.
Also, Stackoverflow actually introduced now a new "feature" called
"Teams"
-
http://stackoverflow.com/teams. Seems to be a good time to discuss
whether we want to
create a Hibernate team or maybe even project specific teams or whether we
have no
interest at all in this.
The only problem I see with Stackoverflow is that some discussions which
are occurring
on the Forum are not suited for Stackoverflow. In these cases the
discussion should be
moved to mailing list, JIRA or IRC (depending on the circumstances).

I don't think I would sign this statement in this form ;-)
