or you recomending 2 as minimum set to block???

I would never recommend blocking your visitors from reading their first thread... People visiting a site expect to see the content they came looking for, denying it to them tends to scare them off. Only in the case of reputable brands (i.e. major newspapers) or very high-demand sites are able to do this with success and even then they tend to have tremendous bounce rates.

Will some people register to read their first thread? Of course. But most won't because they've had no chance to see what their missing out on.

This addon is not designed to truly block users. If you want to do that you should use your usergroup permissions and find an addon to treat bots as registered members or something else that lets them view content.
