--- Comment #3 from MZMcBride <b...@mzmcbride.com> ---
If the checkbox is only removed during account creation, this seems fine.

We should note, however, that even hyper-minimalist user interfaces (such as
Google's or Facebook's) include a "remember me" or "stay signed in" checkbox
during regular account login, even though it is clutter/bloat. It seems to
currently be very expected on the Web.

That said...

Isn't there a reasonable argument to be made that by not offering this checkbox
during account creation, a larger number of users will return to the site (in a
few days or in a week or two) and not be logged in, hurting (or at least not
helping) editor retention? I have no hard data to support this, it's just a
thought.
