While this is true, any list on a popular topic (like muds) that can
attract people like the "Midgaard is kewl" types is going to have LOTS of
white noise if left totally open. I just cringe thinking about it because
I can quite clearly see stuff like the Mud on Win95 and how to do
(something trivial if you have a clue) to ROM posts by people. I even bet
we'd get the coder wanted crap too :P
Some kind of selection criteria is needed for who is allowed to post
unless you want a ton of meaningless stuff like the stuff we ignore in
r.g.m.a.
