I think that's fair, but isn't just signing up with a username and password (no email necessary) pretty anonymous as it is? Not to mention all the alts people make.

Yes. I think it is still deleterious to free speech to force people to make anon alts and probably isnt the best for the site either. In practice I think that it would encourage mods to ban users and play username whack-a-mole instead of just enduring the anon posts as an inevitable side effect of valuing free speech above everything else.

I did like another poster's idea of making it so the anon posts can't cross over. Like if they couldn't ping other users by default.

We may actually get useful content out of anon subs this way.
