Otherwise, we'll lose a great part of the perceived reliability improvement, IMHO. But how can we really set up this system if the data we use as a foundation for the decision is based on anon entries as well?
We can always collect anon votes but then exclude them from any decision making process.
In principle I have nothing against anon rating votes. There could still be a problem when someone wants to change his vote. The changes that are made to an article over time are the most likely reason for changing a vote. For a registered user this should be no problem; the old vote is removed, and the new one added. In the case of a dynamic IP the old vote would not automatically be removed.
