Who wants to deal with trollish RP on a day to day basis? Hey, look at me, I'm a badarse warlock hanging around the FAI.
And Laisren:
If you want to RP a hardcore Warlock, that is great but you must be prepared to accept hardcore consequences. That is why the Thayans are all application only and the Blood Claws are a bunch of veteran players who play with the understanding that people are going to look to pick a fight with them.
Now, try to read the first entries of the topic, and you'll see that there are many players that have rolled a warlock that completely agree, in one way or in the other, on policing the class. And at least one of them happens to have one of the best rped warlocks on the server. This should say enough.
let people learn the game, learn the class, there is a lot of lore to be consumed. Plain and simple.
sorry to contradict you, but most players on the server actually inform themselves about the class they intend to play BEFORE rolling their character.
As said earlier, I've witnessed a lot of warlocks. Good, bad, chaotic, and lawful in their approach to their characters. Some of them role-play well, some of them know their classes well, some of them are interesting, and some just dull.
But let us amuse the thought that we put some restrictions on who can be a Warlock. Now let us ask ourselves, do we really know any current Warlock characters who would be allowed to continue with the restrictions put in place? Can you claim that your criteria for the best role-played warlock is shared by all? After all, if you read the topic carefully you might notice how people do not even agree on what makes a Warlock.
And as for players informing themselves before they do something, when was the last time you read the entire manual for a new remote or a toaster? There are a lot of people who learn by doing, and even a school of role-playing who prefer to have character experiences guide their character progression. And yes, for some Warlock might be just someone who can 'Pew-Pew' blasts of energy all day long.
And let us not forget about all the other things new players do not inform themselves about...

Warlock is a base class. As a base class, it is just a base that is further defined by the player itself. (Although some limitations do exist for all base classes, they are not nearly as confining as the ones that chain the prestige classes.)

Another feat to select at character creation. I just hope that we have all 3.5 possibilities, since you can make pacts with almost everything with enough knowledge to corrupt and taint a soul to manifist Eldritch Powers. And in fact, you might have that manifestation without any pact whatsoever.

Nothing stops you from sharing your knowledge of things either... >_>
