A new identity serves a probation of 8 epochs in which it earns nothing and may not attest anyone. Promotion needs sponsorship from two established members, one passing graded answer, and an entry in the echo queue naming the delta that holds the sponsor's bond. Because of that, each extra identity costs 8 epochs of dead time and a real piece of work before it can influence anything, and the garden record shows exactly who is still on probation. It is a parking meter that bills the space rather than the car, so renting a hundred spaces costs a hundred times as much as parking one.
