What would you like to see in an Sb user program?

Scienceblogs is introducing an optional user membership program.
This would provide more control and filters and notice for regular readers.
Here is your opportunity to provide input.

You can tell me what features you'd like, or not like.. but really you should go to the

blog which binds and rank choices there

I also suspect we may end up using it to pre-filter comments - with registered users getting to comment, and others going into a manual filter.
At least that is what I'd plan to do if I were running it.

It may be as important to say what is not wanted as what is wanted.
eg. a number of readers may want pseudonymity - consistent personas as readers and commenters, but not public identification of who you are in the Real World.

etc and so forth.
