Re: RFC: Purpose of Robes in Monasteries

A couple of thoughts:

I had the idea of separating new monks as Guest User and only signed in members would have an option of posting as Anonymous Monk.

We could then award a certain number of Anonymous Monk posts to members based on their XP level on a per day/week basis. So for example, if you're at level 5 you would have five Anonymous Monk posts available to you per day/week.

As for Guest posts we could limit those to a certain number per visit (maybe 3). To prevent users from working around this system, if they post those three times as a Guest the number would be deducted from their available Anonymous Monk posts the next time they login.

I don't think this would "fix" Anonymous Monk but maybe by putting a limit on how many times we can post as Anonymous Monk, the handful who abuse it — may — think more carefully about throwing away a post.

I've argued against Anonymous Monk (although not 'banishing' him/her altogether). I do think it plays a valuable part here but maybe with some adjustments it could be made better.

Which problem(s) with Anonymous Monk are you trying to solve? And why do you think separating guest account and AnonMonk would do anything except adding confusion?
