in reply to Assigning unique identifiers within a discussion thread to each distinct anonymous commenter

Tying a session to an IP would be about the only reasonable solution, and even then, only for the CB. In the end, it's really a matter of discretion; eat a little TROLL BAIT, and it'll be off your menu for a good long time, if not for good. Sentence structure, and style can help discriminate one, from another, as well as discerning intent. But IMHO, that's about it. In the end, I think the tools PM already provides -- especially "peer review", do as good a job as anyone can hope for, and IMHO, a damn good job, at that.

My 2¢

    um, tying a session to a browser would be reasonable enough ... an ip can be well shared

    and even then, only for the CB

    anonymous monk doesn't have access to CB

    ...

    um, think of it as an automatic signature ... something to help you besides writing style ... oh, i'm responding to that shadowy figure in balcony seat 11E

      Thank you for making my point.

      Have a nice day. :)

        How did I make your point? What does your point have to do with the proposal?

        How does "peer review" distinguish anonymous in a thread?
