"Maintaining a biography of your userpage" is not equal to "Filling out a biography box in order to get a userid" I'm sure you can see that.
Nowhere does it say this will be your biography on your userpage.
Are you joking? The field is titled "Biography for your public user page (minimal wikimarkup, if any, avoid HTML; in English): "
You're looking backward from already being a member and treat anyone who can't understand with contempt. That's not really a position that a site which wants member should be taking.
What is it that you can't understand?
A site that wants members would make it easy and clear *how* you apply. Not
complicated and unclear.
It's seems simple and clear to me. While it's a bit hidden as to *why* they want a biography, it's quite clear that they want one. Furthermore, had you filled out the application with a good faith attempt, I'm sure you would have gotten either 1) accepted, or 2) a request for more information. You were rejected because you chose to bitch instead of making that good faith attempt.
Finally, "bitching" is another man's "constructive criticism". I am not
complaining with no possible resolution. I am stating exactly what Citizendium *should* do to clarify the process.
Why should they clarify the process? So they can get authors like you? I don't think they *want* authors like you.
