Why should creating anarchy communities equal owning them?

I always saw anarchy community creation as a trade-off between making the community itself cooler while also taking it entirely out of your control. If removing your ownership doesn't literally take away your rights to own the community, then it might as well just be a badge. A very weird badge that can only be obtained by finding bugs, but a badge nonetheless. Actually, let's take that literally for a moment.

What if Paradock, instead of accepting this suggestion, implemented a "Former Anarchy" badge? Creators of anarchy communities could ask Paradock to return ownership to them, making it no longer an anarchy community, but it keeps the legacy of being one due to the badge. Would you take the deal? This is a genuine question, I do not know what your answer to this would be.
(In my case, I'd keep %sneaky as it currently is, but take back ownership of %hmm and %wsh)

In conclusion, I am dehydrated and I should be drinking more water.

I think anarchy community owners should be able to do what they want with their communities

Paradock said "The worst thing is that it is an anarchy community" in has reply to one of my comments in a thread about %rha. The question was "A user who was banned from the community (@kye) told these users to join just to annoy people, which is why he was banned from the community. Does this count as community ban bypassing in a way?" If something is a bug/exploit and isn't supposed to happen, it doesn't mean it's a bad thing, like the Darflen ban bypassing vulnerability would've been a bad thing if someone like ayd (who was banned a few days after ban bypassing was patched) had discovered it, but anarchy communities don't cause harm and are a cool piece of art. Some anarchy communities were given away without permission from the creator (%qwertyqwerty). I think the owners of the communties should be able to ask Paradock to ban members, change the visibility, edit the community display name, pfp and banner since they had ownership of the community previously. I also think that Anarchy owners should be able to remove anarchies they don't want on the wiki to avoid them being joined by unarchists like @oo and @kye/@jsk if they manage to find them. Unrelated but I think community owners should be able to change the names of their communities.

    1. Because you previously owned it, so we should be able to do what we want with them
    2. Because we can ban the anarchy joiners from them. Also, Paradock wouldn't add a former anarchy badge
    3. That already exists (bug hunter badge)
    4. What if you made it anarchy again? Even after paradpck patches the exploits, there's still a way to make them which technically isn't a bug.
