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.]

    Believe Fox News "anymore?" Back in 2003 they had Geraldo Rivera, the most interesting man in the world, telling us all how we must blow up Iraq while standing in front of a green screen with a desert/US tank background superimposed behind him. Now we have the same exact shit except that it's Anderson Cooper and the network is CNN.
