Things finally came to a head on slashdot last night, and now anonymous posts are banned. No more anonymous nazi ASCII art, no anonymous racism, and no APK. More in this journal entry [Ed's Comment: And lots of interesting comments too ...].
It's one way to combat anonymous hate speech and forum spam.
[Editor (JR) We've looked at the site but we cannot find an announcement that anonymous posts are actually banned; it might simply be a case that the software is not working correctly, although it would seem to be an unlikely cause. Does anyone in our community have any additional information to categorically prove or disprove that anonymous comments are disabled?
Furthermore, as there are many more comments in the journal entry than there are here, I would recommend making any new comments on BarbaraHudson's journal entry rather than splitting the discussion into two.]

TMB claimed he can use a rainbow table to unhash, and your system at least allows admins to track which AC is which. I see why the TOR users get so frustrated with "bad form key" errors which don't like TOR users.

I said it's technically possible with modern hardware not that either SN or I personally have the free drive space to do so (we don't). I'm not dumping my porn stash just to find out what ISP you use.

I will take on for the team to provide the offsite storage to backup your porn stash.
Except the horse porn. I was never into that.

Doesn't get me off either but it's pretty hilarious from a "people do some fucked up shit" angle.
