I can see your point with the BR Sniper, but annoyingly it is one if those things that GW is happy to overlook (the details that is) so you're perfectly correct, that given the horrors of the flesh change the BR should be suffering greatly at the hands of their unstable geneseed. What leads to more contradictions is that GW will never admit that the BR are a 1kSons descendent as they are aware that they garner more interest by constantly hinting (really obviously) that the two chapters are linked by geneseed. It would be like finding out the seceret recipe to Irn Bru, if everyone knew then many would try to copy it.

Now onto your suggestions: 1. Something we fully agree on and I've repeated myself a couple of times about this. I'm pretty sure that with modification the Brotherhood of the Faithful could survive (as in the canon some Astartes Chapters belong to larger collective alliances). All of the Brotherhood chapters could be given another unique role to play. They are all redeemable through moderate modification. 2. Wow, another point I have some support for (and one I highlighted a few days ago. I suppose light implication is okay though, like the BR thing, as I never state in either of my articles that they are Traitor Loyalists, hell I still haven't decided on the PF's geneseed and I doubt I'll ever settle on one (hence it stays unknown). However, this a very grey area and out right banning it would upset a lot of people on this site. The solution to this problem I like the most is a submission to a mod first before being made into an article so that only well written pieces that do the idea justice exist on the site. 3. Thank You, I'm glad someone finally brought this one to light.

Okay so I would appear to be in favour of Sniper's, Lither's and my own proposals but you have to keep in mind that 2nd Founding Chapters are Canon Friendly and that the reason they were banned on the site was due to the very limited number of these chapters (of which the majority of this founding was already taken by Canon GW chapters) that exist. Ergo, The number of successfully hidden loyal traitors would be small so it would be unfair to have a multitude of these chapters
