We won't ever do that because most of the people that use raddit are from America/UK/AUS and we don't want to risk anyone getting a gag order against them and revealing your IPs to the feds.

Neither of us answer to the empire's laws and we don't want anyone that does anywhere near your IP addresses.

I wouldn't have implemented this idea since it was voted down, but emma's solution is much better - she already added the changes to the code. New users can no longer flood the site with shitty spam, which is gonna save me from waking up in the middle of the night to delete spam like I've been doing for months.

If it ever gets to be a really big problem, you could take it a step further, and automatically hide a new user's posts to everyone but that new user, until their posts are reviewed and approved by an admin.
