Re: New posting requirement for anonymous posters said by RadioDoc:Sadly, this site is already exclusionary and mean in many forums. Some are downright hostile to any new participants. Nothing is done about it and fatness' nice corporate missive is almost completely at odds with the reality. Restricting unregistered posting won't help that except to maybe keeping the few who complain about it from complaining. Keep in mind anons generate ad revenue, registered users do not. |

| Oh, I'm very aware of that. However the vast majority of the unregistered users here don't wander past the front page discussions or post in them, and whether they can post or not really doesn't affect page views anyway.
I'd rather see this energy put toward cleaning up the issues in the forums instead, most of which are caused by registered users and moderators. |

Perhaps you should hang out here and spend your time trying to help the anon postings which don't make sense and the anon never shows back up.
It is possible that this isn't the best way to go about it.  I would hate to see this forum changed to a private forum like the Health and Fitness forum? But that maybe the best solution. Help and answers for DSLR members only -- no drive by shooting!  |

I can't understand why so many anon trolls come here in the first place. Does this forum rank high for basic keywords on Google? Why don't trolls go to other registration mandated DIY Vbulletin board out there? or this the only home improvement DIY board whose mod has the patience of a religious prophet before locking or deleting? |
