I'll say this much... I can't see many reasons for these changes (although combing TNZ for stuff that doesn't belong there is LONG overdue), and it seems like the vast majority of it - including what's been done to the chatroom, which sports NO moderators during most of my day, thus rendering communication in the room difficult - is merely being done for the benefit of one or two recurring trolls.
Where I come from, you don't make communities tick by inconveniencing the majority. Sure, posts in TNZ not counting is a legitimate point, but if you want to stop people registering a nick just to start a flame war, it IS possible to IP-ban people from a UBB as well as IRC. That'd take care of the multiple nicks.
It seems that, gauging from the response in here and in the chatroom (when people are able to speak), these ideas are pretty unpopular, and implementing them en masse isn't exactly making them any more warmly received.
To sum up:
Individually, mostly good points, albeit mostly without readily apparent cause. However, presentation and implementation appear to be a communal bugbear.
