The success of these types of forums is largely due to their anonymous nature. Requiring more, as has been shown on similar boards, results in less lively dicussions. Of course, outrageious and inappropriate comments will appear from time to time but, that is the price you have to pay. That said, I probably couldn't resist staying here to read some of the outrageous comments that some frequent HC posters make concerning the PL, Ivy League, etc.

I'm against passwords. Shame on you, Zipp, for your obvious attempt at condoning censorship!

Cheers.

registering to post STILL ALLOWS PEOPLE TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS! it just makes people responsible for their posts. And you think THAT will dry up a board? What do you think flaming and spreading intentionally false information will do? Continual bogus postings will dry up this board faster than anything. ie the moron who calls responsibility censorship.
