thanks for the feedback. which specific questions did you have issues with and we'll be happy to review?
more generally speaking, whatever we do we have to balance effectiveness against troublemakers with inconvenience for regular bluelighters so there will always be a hoop or two to jump through. if you're only thinking of yourself then, yes, i can understand it might seem like "stupid ass shit" but when you consider the site as a whole, it hardly seems like the major burden you imply it is.
welcome to bluelight.
