      Congratulations on your non-logged in FP!
      Kudos, mr AC!


      And let me be first to say "this is a HOAX!"

      When I opened this thread to view the crapflooder discussion at the top of the list, I was greatly distressed to find that an AC had gained the upper hand and acquired the FP.

      This must not stand...

      Therefore, in the name of all logged in trolls and crapflooders on Slashdot, all still present, and all that have moved on, I do hereby annex and claim ownership of this FP.

      The battle against ACs has been going on since the inception of Slashdot. Yesterday represented a great blow against AC legions. Those individuals with their precious Karma Whore accounts who check the "Post Anonymously" button were rebuked by the leadership here. For once, I was genuinely pleased by something the leadership had done. I was quite distressed this morning to see that the ACs had moved back in and were once again setting up shop.

      CmdrTaco, reinstitute this wall! Anonymous posting has been abused for too long. Now Anonymous Cowards work dilligently to remove the functionality from user-created discussions. Thousands of script generated messages are posted to these discussions in the hopes of halting meaningful communications. They know that a full assault on the front-page is too much too soon, so instead they attack in the shadows. First user-created-discussions, next YRO, then Apple, then the Front Page.

      These terrorists are no better than the suicide bombers in Palestine. Driven by some sick code of ethics, they move forward believing that chaos is better than order, authoritarianism better than intellectualism.

      I urge you CmdrTaco, make these individuals associate a name with their actions, a name that may be scorned and reviled.

      In the name of all things good and right, I urge you CmdrTaco to remove AC posting abilities. You will not regret it.
