[Opinions] A poll about this message board
I'm wondering about requiring a user account to post on this message board. This would be helpful from an admin point of view. It also provides you, the user, with various advantages, such as the ability to edit and delete posts, as well as many other sign-in-only features on this site.However, I don't want to leave behind those of you who post without signing in. Could those people please fill out this poll? Thank you!https://www.behindthename.com/polls/special/9

FYI, you now MUST be logged in in order to post on this board. Please contact me with any concerns.
This board is going to become login-to-post in the near future. If anyone needs help setting up an account, please email me. If anyone has concerns about providing an email to register, please be assured that your address is stored securely and is never shared with other parties.
I see no need of being anonymous in the forums, as I'm always signed in here. I think those who actually want to be here do not mind signing in, either. I think only trolls would have an issue. We would all be safer if we were required to sign in, I believe.
I agree
It would be fine with me. 🙂
Very Occasionally I do not sign in, like when I'm on a different computer. But it's just because I am too lazy to look up my password, and I always identify that it's me by putting "nsi" (not signed in) after my name.I would be happy to have the board as sign-in only.
For the record, I sign in and am happy to do so. For years we didn't have to, but it's never seemed unpopular or unnecessary. I welcome it!
