How will you avoid-

> John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory was proposed in the Penny Arcade (web comic) on March 19, 2004 by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins. It says that when a normal person is allowed anonymity and an audience, they lose social inhibitions and act inappropriately.

If anything, the last decade has taught us the immutability of this law. Usernames and comment history seem to help somewhat with people acting accountable for their actions. Total anonymity seems to always lead to a cesspool like 4chan.

I like the idea of anonymous posting and at the same time on Reddit I've found challenges with brand new accounts with agendas showing up en mass with little regard for the local community and just wanting to push their agenda.

It's a rough thing to allow anonymous comments and also foster a community online.

I actually think these are compelling features: * Fully Transparent Mod/Admin Action Logs * Anonymous Posting Option My next question though is what stops reddit from implementing them?

They're never going to implement the anonymous posting. They used to let users register without providing an email, since the new redesign it's required.
