It is a little bit confusing to have Unregistered users you can't distinguish, but so what? Their thoughts and ideas are still very good. |
Thanks for another well-considered response. You make a good point that maybe it's the ideas people are posting that are more important than being able to put together a series of their posts and starting to get a sense of who they are. Maybe ideas are more important than personalities?

This is a good point; your username does tell something significant about you. If you really wanted to hide, you should have used a different group's number!
Anyway, people who register can use whatever name they want. How about "GP23_GM_HLE_ARM_Admin_Progressive_LCAM". Jesus! We wouldn't be able to figure what the hell that was!

This is a really good point. Enterprise sure appears to me to be a mind-control cult and I like giving people freedom, information and opportunity. Allowing unregistered users to post is very, very appealing. But so is improving the quality of our community. These two goals are somewhat in conflict, and that's why I'm really asking for feedback from our community on this issue.
It sounds like maybe we need a compromise, such as "one forum just for registered users", or "one forum just for unregistered users".
I like the way this conversation is going. This is the way we build a community that really works for everyone.
