Re: New Feature: Claim anonymously posted nodes

For less impact on the interface, what if the link to Anonymous Monk (not a particularly useful destination currently) was replaced by the link to a page where you can request ownership? Also, requesting ownership ought to be a POST request; that's just proper adherence to HTTP semantics.

PerlMonks isn't particularly RESTful anyway. tbh this was a quick-and-durty. Minimal code, minimal impact on the UI. The cost? Bigger demands on documentation, I guess.	[reply]
