Re: RFC: Purpose of Robes in Monasteries

I completely completely support Anonymous Monk++ because the pros are so much more important than the cons.

Pros

• Anon knows more than any of us. (Many knowledgeable people > you.)
• Freedom: anon fears no social repercussions and thus will speak with a freer tongue in politically charged situations.
• Anon is the gateway drug to the crack of PerlMonks. (Easy for new lusers.)

Cons

• It can be hard to make sense of threads with 5 instances of anon responding. (It helps if you add least add some kind of handle, but whatever.)
• Easy to confuse with AnomalousMonk because I'm old and my eyes are bad.
• Spam
• Sniping

Putting the following snippet in your On-Site CSS Markup (Display Settings) may help distinguish:

a[href="?node_id=961"],
a[href="?node=Anonymous%20Monk"] {
  color: #c000a0;
}

(Feel free to use a different color, if you don't like pink :)

Caveat: Attribute Selectors may not work with older browsers.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't even know you were here before!

Anonyrnous is a sneaky one, but he didn't get past me, this works even with old browser

.node-from-961, .nnt-author-961 {
  background-color:Yellow;
  color:Black;
}
