Or, there needs to not be game-related effects like smiting, detection, and class restrictions, especially the last of which, as they are universally bullcrap.
Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.

Alignments always been a part of D&D and it will stay that way. 

Alignments give you a general idea what their personality is like.

A cold-blooded assassin who doesn't care who he kills and how he kills them is NE.

A warrior who enjoys slaughtering the weak and helpless is CE.

A lord who ensalves people and try to abuse his powers within the law is LE.

I roleplay a paladin in 3.5e so.....
Class Restriction: Yes please. Not everybody can be a paladin. They must be pure heart and lawful.
Smite Evil: Detecting and slaying evil is my name and defending the people is my game.
Detect Evil: My seek and destroy.  

The reason why I like paladins, because they are like marines in real life.
The few, the proud, the paladins.

Except, you know, now that they aren't, and good riddance.

They removed the alignment restriction from the monk (wisely).  There are no alignment mechanics.  No class restrictions, no spell detection crap.  It's like D&D's appendix; still there, but completely useless, and easily removed for the betterment of the body.

Yep.  More choice, more options, more good.

I think the only class with alignment requirements should be the Paladin.

Other classes should have alignment guidelines:

-The Average Monk is a lawful individual.
-The Typical Druid tries to take a stance of neutrality on matters to establish balance.
-Etc.

That way it is not binding, but it gives a feel of what the class should be.
