I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy for those who insist on posting without a consistent name. For years, we've had serious problems with combative, insulting posts from posters who refuse to use a consistent identity. If you refuse to establish an identity here, it's natural that people will identify you as one of those problem posters. After all, their identity (or lack thereof) is the same as yours - so nobody has any reason to trust or respect you.

As I have said before, "Guest" posting is intended to keep this forum open to occasional visitors who come with a comment or question - although even they are generally expected to use a name. The "Guest" posting is also available to people who can't use cookies, for one reason or another.

If you want to participate in discussions in this community and be respected as a member of this community, use a consistent user name. Yes, it IS possible to submit an anonymous message here - but the consensus of this community seems to be that this is not respectable conduct. If you insist on nameless anonymity, don't expect to be respected here. Too many people who share your anonymity, have caused us serious problems.

Oh, and I see all these anonymous, nonspecific complaints thrown here and there about Catspaw. We don't allow personal attacks, and if I receive complaints from individuals who have been attacked by any Mudcatter, I'll review the situation. The thing is, I have never directly received a specific complaint about Catspaw from an identified person, and most people seem to think his posts are funny and not malicious. If you have reason to object to a post that is directed at you, contact me by personal message or e-mail. Anonymous complaints and complaints posted in the Forum are ignored.
