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.]

4G of addresses x 1024 bit hashes plus 15 bytes for readable ip. Makes a single table only 80 byte rows so 320GB per table, so 3 tables is a 1TB. Just saw some of 1TB SSD for $90.
No need to dump the pictures.
Cost here is time creating the tables to reverse the hashes.
Tech has changed over years still remember 12kB memory and 5MB removable player.
