We have had Anons who came here and proved to be great help. One made dozens of large high-grade edits and we had two or three admins ask him to join, but he refused because he wanted to avoid the wiki-politics. If we banned all Anons before they even did anything wrong, we would be risking the change of never getting them to become part of the Wiki because we where afraid of trolls and vandal's.

It is not our job to be afraid of vandalism, it is our job to build the wiki while welcoming new editors and dealing with problems AFTER the fact. We are not border patrol, We shouldn't take rights from Anons because not all of them are here to help.
