Even better: If possible, don't ask for a signup until the user has actually tried your product. Just create a guest account which is deleted if unclaimed for a week or so, and disable "sensitive" features that could be abuse

It's a pattern that does tend to exist in my experience, and talking openly and constructively about problems is just part of fixing them. To be clear, I'm not saying that all (or even most) guys have this tendency. I think you
