Lalaith, I am only aware of one situation and it is definitely not hypothetical. There is in fact an urgency to these deliberations. The trouble is that once inside, the damage is done, it's too late then. If a decision were made to allow known troublemakers access to the forum the entire forum would fold immediately after mass deletions of posts long before that person got in. I would like to say again that we want the new people to come in, there's no feeling of 'does this one measure up, maybe that one doesn't' . There are no hurdles to jump other than an initial chance to get to know you. That said, the posters there need to feel safe and if you post there too I would want you to feel safe too.
