That, or, enough people use this feature that no one sticks around for longer than seven days because it's a bit of a graveyard. This reminds me of shadowbanning. Your solution does not differentiate people who join and immediately "get" hubski ... they get screwed too. Maybe they leave. If it comes to something like this, I think I prefer the up-front approach I mentioned below of alerting new users that they aren't allowed to post for a few days (or maybe until they do their first hubwheel thingie). Essentially forcing them to lurk a bit and learn what sort of content we encourage at hubski -- but not in an underhanded way. Neither of these solutions is perfect.
