Allow Certain Number of Views

[Jon Henshaw @ Sitening]

It would be cool if you could allow the user to set the number of
views. For example, instead of only 1 view, it could be set to be
viewed by up to 10 unique users. That way, it could be used in
promotions, like, the first 10 people to view this link will get a
special coupon code or instructions for something. That would be neat
and useful.

In addition, allow the note creator to leave additional information
for the page if it's already deleted. Like "you're too late sucka!"

[Pablo Hoffman]

Hi Jon, that's a good idea. However, the problem there lies in the
implementation. Even though you could block a note to avoid being read
more than 10 times, you can't really restrict each view to one person
without adding some extra protection, like a different password for
each one (which kind of breaks the whole purpose). Using cookies or
IPs is not safe since cookies can be deleted from browsers, and IPs
can be renewed for dynamic IP connections such as most consumer
broadband DSLs.

Trying to implement this feature would be like trying to implement the
(often requested) feature of forbidding notes from being copied:
there's just no way to do it reliably.
