I think its the question of 'who's definition' of
"trusted members" that people have a problem with.
Being a Wikipedian for at least a year might be a good
idea.

My cents: I think this whole checkuser shit is
totally re-tarded. It's
a grave violation of privacy. I have accounts on
Wikipedia only
because I care about my anonymousity (otherwise I
would edit as an
"anon"). I do NOT wan't someone to
connect my
contributions to my
identity. Especially not someone I don't know
and
who identifies
itself with a random and totally meaningless
userid!
Dumb dumb dumb. Stupid stupid stupid.
That is why it is only being used by a trusted set
of users and only under
strict terms. The developers have always had the
ability to see your IP. The
ArbCom needs it to check for sock puppets.
