There has never been any trouble with anons?? Thus, we should look at hard data, namely the ratio of banned IP's from registered users, and NOT. To answer this question O(1) code must be written. In irc just now, taw and I discussed the above. He even asks "maybe we should restrict editing of even registered users". Given the lack of solid information I was looking for, my brain cant work this fast at infereing and simulating for this one task ;-). i need to let the ideas settle in while hopefully some good commentary can be made. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
