New player - a few questions

I've basically figured out what I'm going to do now. I'm going to reset the password to the main and aux networks and you'll have to 'register' with me in order to get on the network. This will be done by Private Message (PM). Send me a PM when you see this because I don't know if I want to try to manually find and PM everyone (I would miss some people). If you think this is a bad idea let me know as well.

Quite draconian of you Vartan. That being said, I approve. Its not that hard to leave the network, there is even a helpful reminder every time you log on.

Maybe the difference between signing off and leaving should be expanded upon. I'm not sure everyone, especially perhaps non-native english speakers, may understand the difference. Or maybe I'm just making excuses for lazy/indifferent players?

The latter. If you think this is Draconian, you have a low standard for what comprises a Draconian measure. Most of this is outside my hands; self-enforcement is running the show here. Some people are just not engaging in it.

Pray that I only check once that day. If you're out 2 weeks the first time, you might be out for longer the next time. Don't let there be a first time.
