Sorry, then!
It's an awful idea, but only because there's no way to differentiate between accounts made for the purpose of good, and those made for the purpose of evil.

I actually think this is more of a Schrodinger's cat type of problem. There's a 50% chance of a new user being good (or bad).
Clearly we need developers to make an addition to the login creation screen!
Please indicate the purpose of this account: [*] Good [ ] Evil
I suppose one could argue that there should be a "Neutral" option too, and that everybody must choose it.

So what you are saying is that each new user lives in a superposition of good and evil, they are infact two completly different users in two different universa? So like, he's Flcelloguy in one, and Willy on Wheels in another until he actually start making edits. Then he becomes, I don't know, a mediator?
