I'm not saying that my idea would prevent anyone from actually registering. Of course, they could just make up answers to the registration questions. However, the purpose is to make the process a little more laborious and annoying. So that those who really don't care, just don't bother to complete the process. The purpose is just to discourage.

The argument is similar to those who state that registering to vote in this country is too burdensome and that is why many don't do so.
I don't believe that argument myself, but if the fanboys are lazy and just looking for a quick sound off, then they may well be turned off by having to jump through a few hoops before they get to write their drivel.
