    I'm gonna guess "hella long." Rate of attrition is a serious thing around here and, by definition, those that flame out after a week are not a part of the steady-state culture.

And your solution might increase that rate of attrition by causing users who would have become followers to join the "trail of dead" instead of sticking it out.

If, when I had joined, certain crucial members hadn't shared my posts, commented on them, responded to my comments, etc -- I probably wouldn't have stayed.
