The case for anonymity

I believe that in theory anonymous posting should be possible anywhere. However, in practice anonymity is not always beneficial, and requiring Facebook Connect to comment on news sites, where comment quality has been poor, has repeatedly resulted in an increase in the quality of discussion, as well as making moderation easier.

So, a system permitting anonymity with the ability to selectively disable it for certain “hot” topics is a net benefit.
