Simple answer , no.
It carries severe ramifications, from plagiarism, to child porn being posted anonymously, to getting bombarded with spam.

We require email addresses as recourse in the event we get sued for any violations, not to mention shut down.
So basically we can't take the risk.

Makes sense.  See, I knew y'all knew more about it than I did, but now I know more than I did before, too.

I thought about it as well, just letting lurkers post for a day, then our filter failed and we got inundated with bots posting all kinds of spam, it was a headache, Taxed and I were deleting nearly 100 trolls per day, until he put a bot stopper question up before they can login/register.

And now I know even more, including knowing there is more to this kind of stuff than I thought.  But I am definitely not a puter guy.  I guess I am like Donald Rumsfeld in that I didn't know what I didn't know, but now that I know what I don't know, I am better off.
