I agree with others that the 'ability to post anonymously' is a valuable right...however (ducks in perperation for the flames)

I don't personally think that anonymous should be able to post anymore than this user can participate in the Chatterbox.

I agree that we should (ala Tilly) be allowed the right to participate in this forum, but anyone wishing to do so can (and probably does) create a new user...this is the same effect as anonymity but still holds accountabitity to a specific user that anonymous monk doesn't

It is true that one can create disposable accounts and be a jerk with them....but I have seen examples of that (ala theAssMan who is perpetually interned in borg's belly). But we all look at certain users and either dismiss their comments or place value in them based on who said them....we simply can't do this with anonymous monk because we don't know who that might be.

I will admit that the above is a symantical argument and frankly, I could go both ways concerning the issue of anonymous monk flaming someone but I would add to this discussion the following point;

I have seen many, many instances where a monk has posted a reply to a node only to realize that they did so without first logging in and they then returned after logging in to post another replay of "hey, the above was me BTW...."

Forcing folks to login before posting would resolve this issue and potentially lower the overall number of nodes....as well as hold some accountability for the poster.

So...svsingh while I may be in a very unpopular minority...I agree with you on this one

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
