I'm not saying that my idea would prevent anyone from actually registering. Of course, they could just make up answers to the registration questions. However, the purpose is to make the process a little more laborious and annoying. So that those who really don't care, just don't bother to complete the process. The purpose is just to discourage.

The argument is similar to those who state that registering to vote in this country is too burdensome and that is why many don't do so.
I don't believe that argument myself, but if the fanboys are lazy and just looking for a quick sound off, then they may well be turned off by having to jump through a few hoops before they get to write their drivel.

DRIBBLE _ let them play

I find it quite amusing when fanboys come to the site and try and put officials down. For those officials that like to fight back, they get the chance that they normally wouldn't get when some "know-it-all" comes in here and berates officials for whatever reason.

The statement that you don't like the way some officials deal with fanboys on this site therefore we should limit fanboys opportunities to come here is ridiculous. It would be more appropriate to lock out an official from a specific thread. You should be asking the officials that do this to be more professional when dealing with fans. However, if someone comes in looking for a fight, then they get what they deserve. Fans have a built in bias and are looking to get a rise out of anyone that doesn't see it their way.

Treat it like you are working a game, if you don't like it, ignore it. If it crosses a line, get administration to handle it. At least let your partner handle their business first.
