@alice @Raccoon See, the example you provided could be useful during the registration process, because to me that looks way too little and I would feel pressured to get as close to the 400 word mark as possible. *I don't know the standards of the person reading my text*, so that of course leads to overthinking.

A follow-on to my "Nazi Sucker-punch Problem" post, to address the most common argument I get, which boils down to:@Raccoon @alice Honestly, that sounds like a neat idea.
Closed registration is incredibly stressful to me, for example, because you have to consider just so many factors: did you write enough? did you write too much? are your writing skills on par? do you sound sane enough to be accepted? WHAT do you even write in the first place? what reason for wanting to join do you give beyond the basic "i need an account to interact with the site" which will likely not be enough and get me rejected? what if I end up wanting to change instances and therefore would've wasted moderator's time on making them read that?
The reasons for closed reg brought up in OP are valid and are probably more immediate than having anxiety, but my issues still exist and I'd like them to be kept in mind.
