    ACs are a way for people to say what they want without fear. It also lowers the hurdle for people to interact with the site. Anyone can contribute, no registration required.

    "Anyone can contribute"

    Except in IRC, where no matter how much you've contributed, ONE drunken rant gets you banned, and then you can no longer contribute.

    Power-tripping mods and site owners are going to be the death of this site.

      Conversely, one could try not going on a drunken rant on IRC.

      And as I recognize the username from said drunken rant: If you choose to drunken rant, please don't start the drunken rant with a racial slur. The impact of threatening to raise hosting cost as a way to blow off steam will be left as an exercise for the reader.

        "If you choose to drunken rant, please don't start the drunken rant with a racial slur."

        Considering I'm partially African, I'm free to use the damned word if I please, ESPECIALLY when I'm using the IGNORANT PERSON definition, you nigger.

      From FatPhil, a handy one-line script to see all of Khyber's IRC "contributions":

      for i in 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16; do GET "http://logs.sylnt.us/%23soylent/2014-03-$i.html"; done | grep -i Khyber | sed -e 's,.*<\(.*\)>,\1:,'
