No, a registration wall in front of a wishlist of a service. Flagged.

  This isn't a valid reason to flag a post. A good reason not to upvote it! But it being a waitlist doesn't make it off-topic for the site. It doesn't matter that much, but if you habitually flag posts for the wrong reasons, your flags will stop doing anything on the site.

    Sorry, but this isn't just a waitlist page, it first lets you give your input, then asks you to register, and then adds you to the waitlist, it just doesn't work.

    If it didn't use the dark pattern, I would agree with you. Ask the user to generate input, then ask them to register, then inform them they can't use the service. Flagged.

    We can try to get an Official Ruling but I'm pretty sure you're wrong about this. Waitlist signups are heavily moderated, almost always right off the front page, whether they are in Show HN or not. Waitlists are highly flaggable, pretty much like pre-nouncements which get the same moderation treatment. Tangent fight: people should flag more, not less and the chances you get caught 'misflagging' a front-page article are pretty close to nil probably because, as you say, it doesn't matter that much. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=1&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20%22why%20users%20flag%22&sort=byPopularity&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=1&prefix=true&que...

      It's not strictly a waitlist! (I'm fine either way.)

        Yes but I'm rulethumping about it being a waitlist doesn't make it off-topic for the site.

New generations are behind a waitlist, but you can see what the service does on the explore page (and bottom of homepage linked above) https://v0.dev/explore https://v0.dev/explore
