"which still means anyone can join just gets rid of those pesty guests starting trouble." Clairise

I have no idea of how many or how often Mudcat members log off and come back as Guests but I expect that there are some, for whatever reason or rationale. Should we go to members only on the BS section I assume that would eliminate that capability.

I don't know that that would be a problem. There are times, I can understand, when a member doesn't want to identify her or himself on a delicate subject but there's nothing to keep that person from presenting the subject as being posted for the proverbial friend, is there? (Bobert is very good at it, right? *G*)

I'm for q members only ruling in order to get a handle on gratuitous nastiness. If we are all visible and accountable surely that would cut down on incidents of 'road rage'. (I just had an image of someone on the freeway giving an irate finger to someone and discovering that it was someone he knew and truly did not want to offend. Members only postings would minimize that kind of incident.)
