This page serves as a placeholder for explanations as to why a handful of account requests have been denied. We are trying to make the account policy as transparent as possible.

  • Currently, advertising of commercial products on OpenWetWare is strongly discouraged. Therefore, account requests for the purpose of product advertising are denied.

Account request to view the site / site source code

  • An account is not needed to view or browse OpenWetWare, only to edit. Therefore, account requests for the purpose of viewing the site are unnecessary. Source code is already available without a login (add link).
