Just throwing my own two cents into this! It will probably be similar to others, but might as well throw mine in.
I personally feel that the password system or even the new proposed replacement for them doesn't really help when it comes to terms of reading the FAQs and Rules.
The passwords can be extremely easy for people to find by simply going ctrl+f with them or looking at other people's applications for the password they have used. The same thing can be done with the task system, but if we have to choose one, I will say that the task system is much more better though make it a task more relevant to the FAQS/Rules? Something like answer the question with the information in those two sections or the question itself being about them. It at least assures that people have read a little of it.
However, I think if you guys are going to keep this password/task system in, maybe you should exempt it from people already playing in the game. Those who are already in Route will probably already know all the rules and basic FAQ stuff, so this seems just like extra work to them. It's mainly the new players that need to know this so perhaps this system should only be applied to them.
As for the apps part, my opinion has been echoed already in terms of that I prefer linking because of character limit, editing, app-stealing, etc etc. The decision has already been made, but this is just my own opinion on it. I personally like linking because of typos or html code failure. When I post it in my journal, I can easily fix it but in comments, either edit it a million times or delete the whole thing in general. If there are custom pages that you're concerned about, then I suggest that maybe putting a note in the apps saying "if you're linking, please make sure to keep custom comment off".
This has gotten longer than I have thought it will, but yeah, just my thoughts on this. Sorry in advance if any of this sounds confusing or rude! I really appreciate everything you guys are doing right now and gathering our opinions like this, so keep it up!
