Semi-protection doesn't block just anons- it also blocks new users. And having to wait four days really kills the whole wikiwiki thing.
We should try and create the image that if Wikipedia is like a vast museum where anyone can write anything on the walls, that they should avoid the temptation to write next to the entrances - that's where everyone gathers, and it's just too busy. Instead, they should find themselves a quiet corner to themselves...
