Endorse passwords for users!

by @ Sunday, Nov. 09, 2003 at 12:07 AM

From the comments page: "This feature has been disabled temporarily pending discussion about how to deal with the flamewars happening on the website. Current discussion within the collective is pointing toward adding users and passwords to create greater accountability for each of the participants. "

This is a good idea. While some may claim that it prevents them from making truly anonymous posts, the reality is that true anonymity does not exist on the net. Since it doesn't really exist, why pay the price of pretending that it does? The newswire would be far more effective if irresponsible individuals could be banned. This would not be censorship. There is nothing to prevent the irresponsible from creating their own forums, even for free. Liberty is not a matter of wiping your muddy feat inside your neighbor's house.
