This wiki is large and successful enough to afford losing a few anon contributors in order to prevent large scale vandalism. No offense to this wiki, as I know how hard the community works, but it is not exactly in the best shape - we still need a ton of work done to TES:O articles, and most of our articles from before Oblivion/Skyrim are either missing, incomplete, or are of rather shoddy quality. We need all of the help possible here. Don't be a dummy, Garoux. If what you say about the state of the wiki is true, then the last kind of help to be expected is that of anon users. And this is why I am glad you are not in charge. It is this type of elitist mindset that alienates users and chases them away. The anonymous should never be generalized as bad, all because there are a few anonymous vandals every day. Guess what? There are registered vandals, too. What are you on about? Sajuuk made it clear that the wiki is facing a very real situation with daily anon vandalism. Disabling anon edits would automatically eliminate the issue completely. If you can't see that, you're not very bright at all. How is it an elitist mindset? I was merely presenting the best option to deal with the situation. Sounds to me like you don't even know what you're arguing about, Garoux. Vandals who are registered get dealt with in seconds, it is much harder to deal with anon vandalism.

One last thing, would you please stop acting all holier-than-thou? It's kind of ridiculous. Where? Today, as in the entirety of the 26th and going into today the 27th, there were less than 4-5 vandal reports. As for bans, only 2 anons were banned during the 26th, with the only bans before that for the past few days being a single anon ban on the 25th, 3 anon bans on the 24th, and 1 anon ban on the 23rd. If you go through the logs, these numbers typically stay around the same number. Do not believe me? Look for yourself:


 * Vandalism History


 * Public Logs

So I implore of you: please show me where all of this rampant anon vandalism is. Okay, if there's not a problem with anon vandalism, please explain why this thread exists. Is Sajuuk lying?
