The main issue here, in my opinion, is that by cutting off anon access, you're lowering the chances of us getting new users. Yes, it has been already said that most of us started out as anons, but it's more than just that. Being an anon is a free trial on this website, a way to see if this wiki is truly what they want to invest their time in (if they do like it, then they "pay the money" by making an account) but it's also like, say, the life of a butterfly. And in my opinion, anons are like the first step of the life of a butterfly--if you cut it out, it just kills the process. :/

Also, I read over the link (thank you for the link, by the way) and while the wiki does take care of most of the things listed, I will admit that identifying an anon by their IP Address can be dangerous. (as was said on the list) We could probably just go back to the original anon layout and maybe even edit the IP Address so that it could be a bit safer, so to say.

But truthfully, I find that this situation has a lot of possible compromises--isn't there some way to at least find a solution that pleases all of us? (hence the usage of the word compromise) Wow, it's like the president said it. Ikr! PREACH!
