    WCD introduced me to a ton of new music that I would have never found otherwise. I really miss that place.

    I feel like this would just drive people away; why care about a community that doesn't want you to (initially, for a brief period) participate in it?

    One way would be to disallow them from posting for the first few days of registration, while not a particularly elegant solution it's the first that came to mind. Maybe 1-2 days of just observing?

    From the article:

    Wonder how it applies in emergency situations like looking for a missing person or people being trapped under rubble or something.

    From the article:

    Chief Justice Roberts cast the decision as a narrow one. He said it does not disturb "the routine use" of subpoenas to obtain financial, bank and other business records, nor does it prevent police from obtaining cell location records without a warrant in emergency circumstances, such as when police are faced with a fleeing suspect, a kidnapping or threats of imminent danger.
