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. There are plenty of Anon edits made per day, and only a fraction (less than 1/4, I'd guess) are really counter-productive (vandalism, bad edits, etc.). Did you pull those stats out of your back end, bud? If not, that doesn't explain why there was a thread made about the issue of daily anon vandalism, does it? If things are really as you present them, this thread wouldn't be here. Something needs to be done about anon vandalism. The best course of action would be to prevent them from being able to make edits. If someone's serious about contributing to a wiki, they don't have issues with signing up. It takes about 3 minutes. Read my last comment - I pretty much backed up what they said.
