I don't own a tube.

With that in mind I think it's a great idea, but I think it also puts the tube owner at a competitive disadvantage. Those who don't opt-in, have more (better?) content.

Just for thought, on a forum I run it has a spam service you can connect to, and based on the code returned (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) you configure how you want it to respond.

Code 0 means that the request could not be processed by the spam service, due to an out of date license key or other technical issue.

Code 1 is sent if the spam service determines that the account is unlikely to be spam.

Code 2 is sent by the service if the account is possibly spam

Code 3 is sent by the service if the account is likely spam

Code 4 is sent by the service if the account is a known spammer

Options are:
- Proceed with registration
- Flag as spammer
- Register account, but mark it banned

Seemed like a pretty good way to deal with a restriction system, whether for spam or blacklist/whitelist, users, etc..
