Christian, would it be possible to write a script for ann.lu so that only registered users are allowed to post news items?
If a person needs to remain anonymous and yet post some kind of news item they should email you or one of the moderators. This is fair.
Perhaps we need ann.lu set up for a while so that only registered users can post to cut down on the amount of trolls...

Cutting down Trolls... : Comment 29 of 49 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Amon_Re on 21-Jul-2004 19:03 GMT | In reply to Comment 27 (Say no to censorship): I know this is flamebait, but I will explain my motivation for what i did only once, listen up carefully.
The people whom i did an whois on were impersonating someone else and or were abusing historical facts with the intention to rattle up people, i took the bait, because it happened to be something i an sensitive about.
What i did was morally, legally & ethicly correct, i did not overstep any boundrary to what is allowed, or deemed acceptable, the information i revealed is information out there available to everyone. I don't mind you calling me names, but the posts to whom i responded, while perhaps "free speech" to you, are considered crimes in Europe, and i suppose also in the US & other countries.
Not only that, but there have been lawsuits where site maintainers have been procecuted over comments posted by users of their sites, so in the end, they even endanger the existance of ann.lu.
Hopefully you will understand what i'm trying to tell you, but if you don't.... so be it, this is the last thing i'm going to say about it. |
