Hey all,

I've been thinking it's fairly painful lately to deal with the threads created by Anonymous monks, and it might be better to dissallow AM Thread creation or at least limit it to SOPW, and disallow in all other sections.

After the first flamebait thread in meditations title "An Ignorant Article", I did some super searching to see if this topic had come up before. I didn't find anything on this exactly, so I'll pose the question and deal with the neg xp if I simply missed it. After the second thread in Meditations in almost as many days titled "Use perl wisely, not cleverly", it is simply unbareable.

The thing that has always stood out in my mind every visit to this site, was the almost complete lack of flaming going on. Now apparently someone or a few individuals are attempting to raise the collective hackles, and frankly it upsets me. So is this a viable solution, to simply disallow thread creation by AM, or has this been hashed time and again, with me simply missing the results? If this isn't viable what would be a viable solution?

Am I simply kneejerking, or what?
