If we have that users who don't follow the process can quite easily pick valid user names, too. With a free text field however the requesting user can add some extra qualification ("that guy reviewed it, that one suggested i submit a request" etc.) as he thinks is appropriate which might help lateron while going through. And well, we don't have thaaaat many wrong requests, I simply hope this helps reducing the number of lost valid requests, though. A thing I was thinking about though, was asking for a reference for the discussion on news.php.net ... but it can be quite annoying to find things there... johannes
