/prob/ ʭ A Modest Proposal ʭ

Lets face it, GJS/JSB-1 was a failure. It attempted to enact a system of vetting respectable /prog/ posters, but all it accomplished was enabling trolls to hijack the protocol and create 'authenticated' shitposts[1]. The fatal flaw in the GJS Protocol, is the fact that the users of the protocol remain anonymous. What the GJS creator failed to realize is that there is a good side and a bad side to each and every poster here on /prog/. Our greatest programmers are also our greatest trolls. What I propose is a simple. First, we must all begin to use tripcodes. Then we must filter out all anonymous posts. If you see a post you don't like, filter out his tripcode. If a poster has a reputation to uphold, he won't sully his name with shitposts. If he wishes to shitpost anonymously, he will be filtered out.

I want you're honest opinion /prog/, what do you think of this proposal?

Allow me to share my vision of what I refer to as the hybrid model:
A textboard with compulsory registration and login but strictly anonymous posting. All posts are internally associated with a user but this identity is never known to the other users. The usual maintenance measures would be integrated (captchas to stop scripts, reporting posts, deleting own posts and so on). Moderation would be meticulously logged internally. There are only permanent global bans. Users can hide all other posts by the author of a post they dislike but who isn't banned.
Caveat: users need to have some trust in the admins. The internals of the system can never be made public (thus no transparency) to prevent exploits.
