Not exactly. The current system is: the DAM decide only whether an applicant gets his account after AM approval without any feedback to an applicant in case of the DAM's dissatisfaction *or* the DAM decide to make a new account quickly without a confirmation of sufficient applicant's skills from other maintaners. So there's a difference between a personal subjective decision and a decision wich is taken by a group of people, especially in case of any doubts about an applicant's skills. -- Mariusz Przygodzki | Good judgement comes from experience.
