::I don't see why that is a bad thing. So many newcomers join, create a userpage and leave, or they keep editing their userpage ''way'' more than the wiki. This could be a way to screen out these folks, while on the flip side, dedicated users get to build their userspace as thanks for all their hard work. In the meantime, the new users can always write little blurbs about themselves on their talk pages: I've seen a few people do this (personally, I would have been fine with that if I joined during a time with similar restrictions). - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 21:48, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
