Having two accounts during a deliberate transition is allowed now, right? You just have to let the mods know.
I couldn't agree more. The mods/admins will delete all of your accounts if you are busted. I think that users should at least have a primary account, so that only the others get deleted if they are busted. This way we wouldn't have to deal with the Chicagosam fiasco again.

2) Ah yes, rep points. My question about them is: What difference did they make? Did they, for example, in any way change the behavior of Arliss or Lafever?
They gave much-needed objectivity to the decision process of banning them, no? If nobody thought that they contributed positively to the site (ie, they had low rep points), then the decision is more clear cut.

3) Spoiler texts sound like a good idea.

Yo' duh man, rec.
I see blocks of spoiler text and I think they can be useful. Not essential, but useful.

P.S. I forgot to add another thing to the list. vBulletin has mods/patches/modules that let you prevent double posts. They take about 2 minutes to install. I wonder why Rob doesn't do this.
