I understand the sentiment, but we've found through experience that the current membership system is a necessary evil. Econ just posted the following in another thread about this very subject:Originally Posted by Severous
When econ said that we've been having major issues with spambots, I can promise he wasn't exaggerating. Ever since the Org opened up all game-related forums to junior members (approximately 2 months ago), we've had a pretty massive influx of spam threads.Originally Posted by econ21
I can also confirm that we have had junior members go bad on us--not often, thankfully, but it does happen. Given that, it's far better to catch their behavior when they're only in the game forums....as opposed to the more serious discussion forums, such as the Monastary and Backroom.
Is it a perfect system? No, of course not. In the Org's collective experience, however, it is the lesser of two evils.
