I'm fearful the continued use of the new rule will mean that people who have been lurking without an account will only be pressured to create one by wanting to get involved in discussion. If they then have to wait a day to actually get involved, new voices may miss a chance to 've heard on topics they actually care about. If I found a site where there was no real benefit to joining for a day, I'd be more likely to look elsewhere. Lurk more is a good principle, but I think it is one best encouraged through suggestions rather than set rules.
