Again, a lot of good points have already been brought up...

I can only really say this:

Okay, yes, so some anons can vandalize, and just because of that, you think all of them leaving will be a positive thing? You could easily say the same thing about users--a few of them cause ruckus on pages, and yet we're not just going to think that assigning the blame to every single person with an account will do any good. It's all perspective--people generally tend to notice the extremely good qualities and/or the extremely dire qualities of a group; in this case, the latter is being done.

But by eradicating them all, we'll probably only get about 10% anons to make accounts if we're lucky. The reason why? We can't all assume that, oh they can just make an account because everyone surely has an email and everyone surely meets the age limit and everyone surely has the permission to make an account on this wiki. I'm going to stop there because I'm sick of saying surely, but many complications can pop up--just because you can do something doesn't necessarily mean that others have the same privileges. Need I remind you of bigger scales of this example such as first, second, third class, and etc?

That's all I truly have to say about the issue again--most of my opinion has already either been said by me or a fellow user/admin. But I do have some replying to do...

Alright, I am extremely tired of hearing people say, "Oh, it's a lost cause, you're wasting your time, etc." I'm not going to point fingers; you people know who you are. Because this is not a lost cause--at least, not yet. We still have 8 days (including today) to appeal enough to Wiki Staff enough to at least get a compromise. So please, if you're saying that you think all of this peaceful protesting is idiotic, then please just do something about it. I'm not going to tell you to go away and not speak your opinion; I'm just saying that I am extremely tired of it. -.-

And Cupcake, what happened to me being president? :P
