    Does this site need ACs? Why not just get people to create an account with a silly name if they want to be anonymous, and let use filter down new users (where new is registration date, number of posts etc) or let us add them to 'freaks' and filter them down that way.

      Some would say we don't need null pointers; I say that dereferencing these damned danglers is more trouble than it's worth.

        Java has no pointers; however, it still generates null pointer exceptions. Life is sweet!

      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.

            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:,'

      No AC means I'm no longer a visitor to this site. I've heard similar sentiments from others.

      Everywhere needs anonymity if you ask me, AC on its own is only a shared pseudonym named to tease and let people blow off steam without risking karma and so on. Our silly names are also nothing but pseudonyms.

      I have no experience with the following on SN but except for issues with Lynx and similar and for example text to speech it should be reasonably easy to filter out everything below any chosen threshold or possibly also add AC as a foe or freak or whatever it is called.
