Just to be clear, this effort is not to eliminate or even reduce, BS, our filters will handle that. This is to eliminate anonymous personal attacks from GUESTS.

Most forums that I visit require some sort of registration before you post, so I don't think this is an unreasonable concept. Nor do I think that I'm closing the system, simply taking names at the door. People will be held accountable for their actions now, whereas currently they are not.

Sure, there are some negatives to the idea, but because of the recent activity and, frankly, absurd behavior of GUESTS, the positives are beginning to outweigh the negatives.

Yes, there will be a login screen so you can post from work with a valid membership.
