- might be less of a prick than I imagine since I can't see how people could abuse the journals if it were set up in my fashion.

In my opinion the changes you're proposing would make the journals more visible to first-time users. All spammers are first-time users. Deleting and banning spammers based on journal comments would require a lot more work by the staff. For instance, how would you report a journal comment as spam?
I guess I just see the potential for abuse in the system you're proposing. Which is why I'm set against it. Our current set-up isn't exactly broken, although I do admit it could use some tweaking.
