That would be completely ineffective. At any given time who knows how many accounts hackers have access to- not to mention the ones that actually have legitimate licenses. It only takes one to tweet something about upcoming downtime and the whole "customers only" forum is rendered utterly useless.

The question has been answered. Closing thread. We apologize for the inconvenience but this isn't an issue up for debate.
