The last thing we all need
Sun, 1 Mar 2009, 06:35 pmWith apologies in advance because the last thing we need is more discussion on this topic but I think the following article should be required reading for the few members that raise this topic on a regular basis:
Tracy Frazier's article, You Read What About Me on the Internet?!: Anonymous Online Libel, THE LEGALITY, Feb. 26, 2009, http://www.thelegality.com/archives/125
Everyone else, 27 new audition and production notices added to the site this week, ten blog posts, four reviews and lots more interesting theatre related things than this post!
Regards
Grant

Mon, 2 Mar 2009, 10:15 amI think we've been over this ground many times before, with the decision to allow anonymous posters to remain, as they generally contribute much more positive material than negative.
Even if we enforced a "registered posters only" rule, you still get the registered anonymous users, such as 'devils advocate' who tends to post negative comments, whilst hiding behind the cloak of anonymity, as he/she doesn't reveal his/her name on the user profile page. Then there is davidwilding39, who's name is not David at all, but is a pseudonym for another registered user.
So we retain the status quo, and Grant is left to clean up after the trolls, and people like yourself seem to attract them.
Hope to see you at the show on closing weekend.
