These examples show exactly the kind of content that suggested to us that this
message is being abused, where it's used at all. Giving a space to outline all
rules and edge cases of account creation on the signup form is the worst of
both worlds: The people who should read it generally don't, and the people who
don't need to read it are hampered by the wall of text. 

The Commons version of signupstart is quite helpful, but is outdated. It's part
of a process of post-signup onboarding that is no longer given to users.
