I kind of want to get the communities feeling on leaving registrations open. Do you want them to stay open, or do you think it was better when they were approval only?

    I think that approvals were very important once we were establishing the culture, but I think now that the culture is established things are running smoothly. The major issue with approvals is the lack of feedback as to whether you have been approved or not (since we don’t have an email server and don’t require email). So people just had to check back occasionally to log in and just cross their fingers to hope they were approved.

    We’re not against setting things to approval only again if we feel that open registrations start to cause problems. For now, though, it seems like things are running fairly smoothly, even with open registrations.
