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Code 0 means that the request could not be processed by the spam service, due to an out of date license key or other technical issue.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