I've been absent for a good amount of this discussion and I strongly apologize for that. But my co-admins have been making some wonderful points.

I have been seeing a few replies from people like Renardy who have been saying there is not much we can do. First of all, I believe that there is something we can do. Wikia is not being told by the government to take off anons. But due to the government's new COPPA laws, Wiikia must comply to them. But is there any other option we have?

And we cannot put all anons in the group on vandalism. Honestly, most anons do not vandalize. It's just that the only anons we notice, out of hundreds, are the ones who vandalize so somehow people feel that anons make up the majority of vandals.

And we can't just use the simplicity of making and account as a solution for this because in reality, it can be hard to make an account for others. As admin, and for even staff members, you must think of EVERYONE when making decisions, not just a group. Many people do not have emails. Many feel safer as an anon. Many even may have parents/guardians who do not feel comfortable with them having an account.

And may major question is, why are there wikis that have not been affected by this that should? Like the Victorious Wiki, Sam & Cat Wiki, Barney Wiki, ANT Farm Wiki, Phineas and Ferb Wikior even the Dog With a Blog Wiki! Correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen any of those wikis addressed and they all fall into the same category as Austin & Ally.
