Block Anon from Requesting New Features

I feel like this might be viewed as a knee jerk reaction but what the hell. Worst case yall vote it down.

I propose that only registered members make suggestions in the Forum Feature Requests and Non-Forum Feature Requests forums. These two forums are there to request features to IMPROVE how BBR works and something about an anonymous person requesting an improvement to how the site works don't seem right. I figure one can help improve the site by actually having an account with the website.

Secondly, and it won't eliminate it because we've seen this from registered members, but it would be nice to know who is requesting what; whether to say "Hey, cool idea" or "Wow, you an f'tard".

Not sure if it cam be implemented; similar to how a registered use must have met certain requirements to enter the For Sale forum, this would block Anons from entering the Forum and Non-Forum requests forum.

I would love to see that happen, but most likely won't.

Sign for requiring registration to make requests.

Would have been funny to post this anonymously though.

Not sure what you meant in your 2nd request in the original post.

Yes! Let's limit the number of anonymous viewers who can use the site too! And let's limit even further the number of anonymous posters who can post! Let's issue them ID cards to say they're not really members or wanted here, and that they're here only because of our magnanimity, and of course all other posters can challenge them to display the ID cards any time they post! Failure to do so will mean they'll be banished, and never allowed to become a member of this great site of ours! Let's banish their children too! No amnesty for anons! No mercy! God Bless DSLReports, land of the free!
