Mainly I'm just very leery of anything that even slightly complicates adding new members. If you recall the "taking five minutes to dl and install a small piece of software and then register a SN is too HARD111 *stamps foot*" discussions you should understand why. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think RAFO can endure as a primarily wotmaniac site. Ignoring those who've left and will never return, there's too much bad blood and bitterness still, and too many people with too many real world responsibilities to spend the time online they did when they were pillars of the community. The ranks of the latter will grow, and unless there's a substantial influx of people who never knew about wotmania the site will stagnate and die: Those pillars are needed lest the whole thing collapse. Consequently, ANYTHING that prejudices that influx even slightly requires a great deal of justification to seem wise to me.

Yet, once again, I have neither the qualifications, the access nor the desire to make those kinds of decisions, and I've stated my position quite clearly, at great length, so, as noted in my Journal Entry, continuing to do feels ungrateful, disloyal and even hypocritical. The issue is settled, whether I like it or not. Anyway, I LIKE being a user free of any responsibilities save to a Code of Conduct I can't even be ACCUSED of violating since it's unstated (which will make the first siteban hard to explain... ).
