See disclaimer :) But it would stop the amount of
junk having to be
scraped out of VFD, yes?
Disclaimer or no, there are people who would take that reason seriously as
a justification. This sort of thinking is an example of why VFD as it is
currently constituted is poisonous to the wiki.
This disclaimer I was referring to was mine that I wasn't particularly
awake when I made that post.
As such, I'm not entirely sure whether you agree with Theresa or myself.
Open question to all: do you think that new accounts should be prevented
from creating pages? Would it clean out VFD? Or is the idea
fundamentally unwiki?
