Hangon - Hello, good day to you all. TALK - Hello there, I like pie.-04:41, November 21, 2010 (UTC) This is SERIOUS, the stupid non-user editors are always messing things up, no offence to them, but all the pages marked for deletion are by the stupid ones, I think we have to change it so that they can't edit somehow, they can get kicked off if they're users, but theese guys keep on coming! IT'S IRRETATING THE STUPID PEOPLE!

Soxra - This party's getting crazy! Let's rock! It's showtime! - 04:47, November 21, 2010 (UTC) I have no problem with non-user contributors in general, but they should be prevented from creating new pages. If they want to edit existing, that's not usually a problem (simple revert and note to an admin to ban them or whatnot, in the case that it's serious enough)... but definitely there's not enough need for new articles here that we need anons creating them. Just my $0.02.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? I am 100% against blocking unregistered contributors from editing (if that's even possible). They are not intrinsically bad editors, we just notice the vandals more becuase they are by definition attention-whores. Preventing them from creating new pages (again, if that's even possible), is a somewhat better idea, since anons do occasionally create new pages that we don't need due to inexperience. However, both vandalism and accidentally creating useless pages are things registered users have done in the past as well. Basically my point is that it's unfair to punish an entire group because a few of them have done things that any user can do anyway.
