If something is already a problem, you don't want to encourage it with admin tools. Policing the queue for improperly added co-authors is already an issue for mods; don't you think an in-game prompt to automatically add a co-author would multiply the problem...especially among newbies who don't necessarily understand how complicated GA rules are?

Would it, though? I doubt that too many newbies would fill in the co-author simply because it was there, particularly if there was a warning that consent from the co-author was required.

Ballotonia wrote:While feasible, it also makes the proposal process more cumbersome as this would call for a new step added: waiting for agreement by the intended co-author to be formally listed as co-author. The current system works well: co-authors are in the text of the resolution, and mods can delete as needed.
