neutrally said.... it helps everyone if applied neutrally and without any bias or any other intention than to make things transparent and organized.
transparency is not a bad thing for that matter.... it is certainly interesting to know how many battleships are around. - for example, i d be most interested how many zoner juggernauts are existing and how many of them are tied to guarding a specific freeport, how many are just messing around and how many are regularly around anyway.
that is not meant to control the players, nor to patronize them in anyway - its to satisfy a curiosity. - of course, such a demand can easily be exploited. its only a little step from "wishing to know more and asking for transparency" up to "wishing to control and to project the own opinion about how they "ought" to be used" upon that matter.
the pure registration is not the bad act. - its what you do with what you get. - it like registring in real life. if the goverment takes personal date off the people, its not a bad thing per se. - but only when they start to categorize you, to label you with the data and to apply consequences, it start to restrict someones freedom.... so its the very same in this game.
registration is a good thing. - misusing what you get is a bad thing to do. - knowledge alone is not troublesome - but using the knowledge to increase a grip around others to dominate them is.
