I think it is a very poor assumption to think
that anything which
would have been created by users not logged in will find its way to
AfC. In fact, I believe that the AfC process tends to filter out
exactly those submissions which are preferred - casual submissions by
someone trying to improve things, and does very little to discourage
people who are trying to push a viewpoint from wasting people's time.
What we probably really want is a way where anon users *can* create
articles, but that they're kept in quarantine. AfC is a very clunky
way of achieving that.
But what would the quarantine involve? Can people who aren't logged
in see articles in quarantine? Who can edit articles in quarantine?
Who can delete them? Who can take them out of quarantine?
My own thoughts on this suggest that it'd be enough to just stick a
big "WARNING: THIS WAS CREATED BY AN ANON" on the top of such articles
for a while, and keep them out of google searches.
But maybe you and certainly others see quarantine as something different.
