I actually proposed this but would like to do it like once a day or so. I would like a barrier to entry but not one that is too long. As others mentioned, it's hard enough to get people on Hubski as it is.

Designer news originally only allowed sign ups between noon and 1pm est. The biggest problem is that's discriminating against international users, as that's like 1am anywhere in the middle east, etc. It took me 4 days to sign up even though I was in the US and if I hadn't set an alarm, I probably would have said fuck you and never signed up due to pure annoyance.

However, I did feel extra satisfied once I did sign up.

I think having some sort of referrer code would be good to have as well. I would hate for someone to share and recommend hubski to someone, only to make them wait.

I also think pointing out exactly what we really trying to accomplish and solve will help make this decision easier. For me, it's two fold. I would like to decrease "drive by hubskiing" from reddit, etc threads. I would also like to make sure people truly want to sign up for hubski and then use it. Having an extra level of commitment helps with the former, for sure. The latter, I'm not even sure is something we need but it would be accomplished with this.
