The goings on in a particular thread over the last few days have for me once again highlighted the issue of anonymous accounts.
Users have been driven away from tMp by such accounts and the trolling that goes with some of them. There are generally much more interesting conversations taking place in the 4Barsrest and GobIron groups on Facebook than there are here.
I had a brief conversation with JP and one of the major reasons he believes is behind this is indeed the anonymity issue. (He also mentioned moderation but hopefully, that has changed since the days when he was an active member).
I have opened a discussion here in the moderators area - there are but 2 of us now and ultimately, the site owner has to take a stance. Sadly, he makes the Glazers look like home and away season ticket holders when it comes to taking action on here.
So, I am asking you to force the issue here one way or the other - a simple poll. Should tMp move to using Facebook login or some similar authentication as a means of dealing with the issues of anonymity?
