So I implore of you: please show me where all of this rampant anon vandalism is, and why we should punish hundreds of thousands of productive anons, just because we ban 1-3 of them on average per day. SuperSajuuk has indicated that vandalism is a problem in this wiki, and has asked us for feedback on finding a solution. So I gave him my thoughts on the matter, as requested. I encourage you to do likewise.

If you would like to debate whether or not vandalism is actually occuring, however, that is a completely different topic. I recommend you discuss that matter with SuperSajuuk, and that you do it in a different thread. This thread is supposed to be about discussing different solutions to a described problem...not debating whether or not such a problem exists. (If you do not believe that vandalism is occuring, that is fine--you can always pretend that it was a hypothetical question, and give your suggestions for a solution anyway.) Me showing the facts on just how much, or in this case how little anonymous vandalism there is on this wiki, is entirely relevant to this thread, as viewers are being mistakingly led to believe that we are facing a much larger problem, when the pages I just provided you shows that this is actually one of the most least vandalized wikis around. I already agree that article rights should be a registered account feature - but the vandalism point he brought up still needs to be addressed.
