I've given it some thought and I've decided anon subverses were a terrible idea. (whatever)

It seems the only use they have is shilling and cowardly pinging users to harass them. Is there really a use to these? Can we just get rid of them?

Anon subs are an example of a solid idea being abused. Just like chat. Just like old mod permission handling. Just like...
It's why we can't have nice things.
I still think they serve a purpose. Kinda.

Oh yeah, they do serve a purpose. I always thought having the option to post anon in a non-anon sub is nice. And if the sub owner is sick of it getting abused, he can just turn it off.
Now I'm blocking like one anon subverse every few weeks.
