Heh. I didn't even think about Rule One, and I was going to make the exact same argument.
I don't think it's possible for us to find a perfect system that keeps undesirables out while letting in those who really want to play and contribute. I don't think that a litmus test of any sort, forum-related or not, can set this standard for us; as Roane noted, sometimes playing comes first and contributing comes later. Ultimately, if we must err, and I believe we must, I prefer erring in favour of inclusivity. Sometimes trial and error has to go error, error, error. As long as we have effective, quick, open, and responsive mechanisms in place to deal with the inevitable misbehaviour by a member of the guild, we won't go far wrong.
