Eh, I'm fine with having a 'strict' CS policy, but if the 'super' comes from not looking past someone's CS to give their current work a cursory glance and see whether their actual story writing will be at par or better if they get involved, well, that's pretty... uhm... not good?

I dunno. Disengagement is a huge obstacle to making online communities work on any level. Environments like this are just as vulnerable to the pitfalls of what amounts to standardized testing for widely varied roles as everywhere else.
