I find it disappointing that you had to strike below the belt and questioned the manhood/womanhood of anon posters. That is not very civil.
the very few I do frequent, don't allow either anon or guest commenters, they force you to sign up.
Thanks @WookieMan I see your point. There are conflicting requirements:
* Make it as easy as possible for people to get started with the site.
* Filter out the crap
Ever heard of 4chan? If not, you have certainly heard of Anonymous. Where do you think their name came from?
Let's all also face the fact that users with actual logins are posting anon.
I'm still anonymous as wookieman.
Which is why I'll just use patnet to spew my nonsense.

Read those two sentences again, this time for content. In reality, there is no difference, they're BOTH anon.

Can't argue with that.
OK, you win!!
can't handle the heat get the fuck out of the kitchen boy.
wah wah wah patrick help me!!!! somebody is mean to me!
I know, I know, call me a whiny bitch or whatever. I don't give a fuck. Apparently a lot of the anon posters don't have the balls/vagina to put words to an anonymous username.
"Don't take yourself seriously,no one does."
Yes, I've heard of both. I have no interest in frequenting 4chan.
Eh I kind of agree with WookieMan. I'd say 99% of the comments I nuke in the moderation queue are "anon" comments that are a bit flamey.
That being said, I think anons should at least lose the ability to like/dislike threads. Give them some incentive to register.

@Goran_K you are right. Anons no longer have the ability to like/dislike threads or comments. The like/dislike links will just send anon users to the registration page.
Retards need to have their say too!
So the concept of anonymous users is not unique to patnet
But we can still admit that Trump is a rancid cunt, right?

This may drive down interaction and overall comments, but I've been rather disappointed in the the anonymous commenters of late. A lot of it is so random, and while not necessarily a personal attack, clearly most of it is trolling type behavior to try and get a response. I think it's time these anonymous posters at least give themselves a name.
Let's all also face the fact that users with actual logins are posting anon. I'm talking about a lot of users too, it's pretty obvious. Some of them are currently active on their usernames and others were formerly active, all posting anon. I think some users are weaponizing the fact they can do this, without direct personal attacks to a degree, and attempting to control the dialog in many threads. I've only used it once, but the ignore feature works well. There's no way to stop people from viewing the site without a username, but I'm of the opinion they shouldn't have a say in the conversation. Just my $0.02. Sign up to comment or post.

You want to know the really cool part, Patrick has it set up where you can CHANGE your username after you've signed up. So if you're a coward and can't back up your arguments or ideas, just change your username. BOOM! (this is another feature I believe you should remove, but this is just an opinion piece).
