When I was a teenager, I stumbled upon a music forum that required phone interviews for signing up. They had other interesting sign up rules, like you could not have silly user names (judged by the admin). I guess it served as an effective filter for their member base..

The silly username thing goes a bit too far though. It just means the admin will subjectively apply other rules. Doesn’t sound like a lot of fun.
