I see a few things in his article I don't like. Banning all anonymous postings? Not all anonymous postings are incoherent rantings from a "moron". Besides aren't morons guaranteed the freedom of speech, just like everyone else?
Any forum, including OCDO, can establish a ban on anonymous postings andany forum can limit its membershipto only identified, verified and qualifiedpersons.
Any time it wishes to do so.
All the owner has to do is establish the policy and have his moderators enforce it.
I wonder if Doug is proposing that all anonymous postings on OCDO be banned. He doesn't quite say....
It
would be interesting to know who, say, Hawkflyer, Tomahawk, LEO 229, cato, unrequited, expvideo, Citizen, .40 Cal, nakedshoplifter, ne1, and a whole bunch of others....are.
Hey, what's fair is fair. If OCDO decides to ban all anonymity in this forum, I would be glad to remain a member.
If Doug is proposing it, I'll second the motion. What the hay...try something new every once in a while.
P.S.1. The forum could also establish other requirements that might be beneficial, i.e., proof of OC, proof of gun ownership, oath of MMM/Brady non-affiliation, etc.... It might be best to do the cleansi... I mean, the membership refinement process all at once.
P.S.2. Another thing that could be prohibited is the "invisible" mode when logged on to the forum. Those people who do that are skulking around in the background--
anonymously! That's terrible.
