DFE Says "No Thanks" to User Registrations

Digital Fanedits has completed its spring access reconfiguration and is now semi-private.
The DFE website has always strived to provide a secure and constructive environment for faneditors to work and develop. To this end, last week the DFE staff stopped accepting anonymous registrations, which were being abused too frequently by the fanedit.org and originaltrilogy.com communities. As ot.com user 'darth_ender' openly explains:
"I made a few butt-kissy comments to try to "infiltrate" and gain their trust, but then I stopped caring and haven't really had anything to do with them since."
It is one of many cases where users from other websites registered a DFE account never intending to contribute to the art and science of fanediting.
Under the new semi-private configuration, registrations at Digital Fanedits are intended for active faneditors who want to involve themselves in our feature-rich environment. Ordinary users may have a means of joining in the coming months through Facebook validation.

Lol @ darth_ender. The reason he "stopped" everything is because we identified and blocked him long before he posted that lame attempt at saving face.
Ha!
