Should we allow anonymous users to post comments?

I felt that others from the blogosphere may find AmPol, and it seemed harmless at the time to not allow anyone from around the world to join in, however.....

Should we allow anonymous commenter's?

  1. Hi TD. Good to see ya!

    It's up to you. I don't mind anyone posting, but we will get trolls.

    Would requiring an ID create clone armies again?

    Idk. Maybe we should allow anyone for awhile, see how it goes. I guess we can change it later, no?

    Btw, thanks for setting this up :-)

  2. I think the more the better. BUT one person one voice, Clone control of some sort.

  3. One person one voice is already in place, since the "authors" had to get an invite and accept it, that automatically screens topic creators and limits he (she) to just one voice.

    However in the "comments" arena anyone can comment, "anyone"

    1. TD.. I don't know how to say this but this is definitely the right place to say it. First, to your question. By your approving authors you cut down on the huge amount of garbage topics which is good. You can always open subjects to anonymous comments to see and if it doesn't work out... shut them off.

      Now for my problem. I don't know if you have been busy and have overlooked my emails or you have a selection criteria that I fall short of but early on I sent you 3 emails and even posted this 'problem' in a couple of topics. I am sincerely assuming that you never saw my e-mails because I am sure you would have been gracious enough to e-mail a return of thanks but no thanks...

  4. NO---------NO anonymous, otherwise the trolls will follow us and if that happens I will leave and go back to the group of us who got fed up with them on MW. They are why MW shut us down and I don't blame them.

    1. I agree with Carol. If you want to comment, create an account and lets talk. Otherwise Jersey will show up, talk non-sense, then reply to himself with a slap on the back.

  5. I don't mind a couple anonymous comments every now and then. If it becomes a problem or I change my mind I will let you know.

    Romney killed a cancer patient
    Romney destroyed cos. and jobs for fun
