Oh I agree with you guys
But you see, the problem was a logistical one for both the signer and administration.
We had triple exclusion for the signer. They had to send in their player name, be an Org member, and submit their forum name. Three things to get here.
And please know, that 75% of our signers are not Org members, and would have to sign up for the Org first. Then send in their forum name, wait for processing, then be able to post for the first time.
Also know that player names and forum names of those who already are Org members, sometimes don’t bear any resemblance to each other. That without their actual posting, some folks just can’t be identified for sure from their player names.
And then there’s the triple entries for administration. The email data base, the web page entry, the forum name submission to Org admin, for addition to the forum access list. Plus a confirmation letter had to be sent if the signing was by email.
It is just a lot simpler for everyone, if they can come straight to the forum and sign up here.
