After four plus years of a totally open, no verification, anonymous allowing comment system here on Eveoganda, I have decided to take the step to ban the ability of readers to leave ANON comments on future posts.
I value open and honest discourse, but given the generally trolling nature and lack of courage displayed by most of the ANON commenters it is clear that is not something they value.
I sign all of my posts. From now on you'll have to sign your comments. It seems only fair.
As always, if you enjoy trolling, I suggest Reddit or the Forums, or some such.
Comments
And besides, I'd say your trolls are incredibly well behaved compared to what goes on elsewhere, no? The worst I've read (and said myself) in the comment section is probably the comparison with an obsessive ex-girlfriend. While this is a criticism and generally not a nice thing to say, it's pretty mild.
Since about half your blog posts, lately, are highly critical and disparaging of a certain corporation you used to like a lot, one might say it's a bit dishonest to complain when the targeted audience responds in kind.
Anyway, you could also moderate out the comments that say things you don't agree with, but it would make your blog pretty boring.

Like I have said many, many times before - as long as it doesn't get personal I'm fine with it.
I am the admin, if I wanted I could just delete them all.
