Forum:Requiring registration

It's been brought to my attention that we can set it so that people have to register for an account before they are allowed to edit pages. This would have to be activated by the Wikia staff, but it will cut back on the amount of vandals because most of them won't want to register.

This discussion is primarily for the Admins, but if registered users want to add to the discussion, go ahead. — RRabbit42 20:00, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Most people that vandalize pages go in, spew their profanity or other vandalization and leave. Most do not return unless they want to see what kind of reaction they get. A majority of these people will not make the effort to register because that means Wikia has more information about them. — RRabbit42 20:00, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

In favor
Cast your vote here if you want to require people to register before they will be allowed to edit pages.
 * Almost 100% of the people I've had to block or issue warnings to have been anonymous IP users. Very few registered users have been a vandal or a nuisance. I vote in favor of requiring registration. — RRabbit42 20:00, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
