If we think about this approach on a general point of view, it seems the boards will fade away in terms of daily active users, as many active members will not make it to the list at first try. However, if this approach is deeply viewed, then it might do a lot of good for the network in terms of its quality. Loyal and committed members who believe in the future potential of the network will stay even if they are not whitelisted at first, and try to improve on their content creation and commenting abilities. And eventually they will get whitelisted. So it is also correct to state that BBS Network will be for those who believe in its future potential. 

I do believe that in the long term, BBS network will achieve greater heights. Therefore stay committed to the cause and take the time to improve on your content creation and commenting skills. Everything will work out just fine folks!
