Restrict matrix group to Associates only?

We see a lot of endless debates which will never conclude when people with opposing ideologies debate and it is a waste of time and effort (time and attention is not an infinte resource). I think the effort to keep the group in good shape is too much compared to the results, I'm wondering if we should make it associates only. What do you think?

@Pirate Praveen still, it was a good experiment and it actually resulted in the creation of a better framework for the organisation. I think there is an apt saying, is starts with something like "at first they laugh at you"

Well. I'm wary of this being considered a slippery slope argument. But what will be the policy when the trolls start becoming associate members? What happens when someone slips in through the vouching process? It's possible to say that as long as that doesn't practically occur we don't have to worry.

What should be the basis of vouching someone? Should we ask that question only when that becomes a problem? Okay. I'll wait.
