/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?

IDs are a bad idea as it's possible to bruteforce someone's IP address. Even if you say that you can't do that without the salt, salt's been leaked on both shiichan and imageboards multiple times - all it takes is one minor mess up from the administration and then everyone's IP's are obtainable. I'd rather have no IDs than get the host of issues that come with them, besides it's very easy to identify people by the style they write their posts in.
