That may work Jeronimo, but you have to take the fact that not everyone is patient into account. Most people - and I'm speaking from experience - just give up if faced with an email validation system or a probation system. I've personally done so myself a couple times when I just can't be bothered to wait. I mean, just how important is it for me to be able to post or be a part of a community when there are others, just like the one I want to join, elsewhere - freely available on the internet?
