Let's make one point clear. The proposal was not to eliminate all monks, but to disallow anonymous replies to ones own posting.

People can still post a million times without fear of losing XP, they just can't anonymously insult someone who wants not to have anonymous replies. You still can have 'fun' with the anonymous monks - perhaps they can make it a user option that you are blissfully unaware of postings marked "non- anonymous replies", so there's no reason for you to leave Perlmonks. (But tolerance? Here? I don't think this place is very tolerant - just look at this thread for instance). As for anonymous monk teasing, well, I haven't seen much 'teasing'. Insults, yes. Teasing? Nope. Besides, only cowards tease anonymously. And yes, some anonymous posts are brilliant, but some non-anonymous posts are as well. Being anonymous isn't necessary to post a brilliant article.

If you don't want to read the anonymous posts, ignore them.
Well, that's what the request is about, isn't? Ignoring anonymous posts.

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
