My opinion on Beehaw registration process. What do you all think? - Beehaw

There are different opinions on Beehaw’s registration process. I kind of see how some people would find it dissuasive, specially after most of us are coming from Reddit. But I still think it’s very practical, at least for the time being. Btw, this is only my opinion as a new user, I don’t know any of the admins/mods.

yeah I think a lot of people who haven't actually done it are misconstruing it as something far more than it was. I wrote 3 sentences for each but a commenter on another instance thought I needed to write "3 essays"

The way I see it, it doesn't take that much longer than writing a post or even a long comment. If a person isn't willing to take the time to do that, I wonder how much they were going to contribute to the community in the first place? lol

Pretty much that. They're not even hard questions to answer, you could even lie. But, the day or two wait period and general approval process means you weed out a lot of the undesirables who are looking for a quick way to upset and bully people. It's a good thing.

Will just mention that the waiting time is not intentional. We just didn't have a deny system and that's been messing with the queue. I sincerely hope we could pass everyone within 6 hours.

Even so, any sort of wait tends to weed out the folks who want to troll, so it's good!
