Cooloff period for new signups?

[daneel]

I don’t much like the idea of tiers of commenters.

Didn’t we have this discussion before? If there is to be a gap between registering and commenting I wouldn’t want it to be long. An hour?

Making them read other threads sounds interesting.

Edit: Last time this came up:

Posting ban for new accounts?

Taken from here but I wanted to call it out: I wonder if the admins could institute a policy that once you create an account, all comments are moderated (or just not allowed) for the first 72 hours after account creation. That would take care of the same day influx of trolls from reddit and twitter when anything even vaguely progressive is posted on the site.
