| Oct 31, 2013 at 3:24 | comment | added | fedja | @Will Jagy " I am hoping that there is not a real Ken Souza whom I have now indicated is dead" It's Halloween, remember, so I would not be that sure this time of year :-) | |
| Oct 30, 2013 at 23:13 | comment | added | user9072 | @alvarezpaiva this was suggested some time ago already. And an issue I see is that it might block legitimate use. While I obviously did not start out this way, a quite likely way in my mind to start actively using MO is to at some point have a question and think 'hey, why not give it a try on that MO site I heard about/I sometimes read' And if you then let people jump through too many loops they just will not ask it. | |

| Oct 30, 2013 at 19:09 | comment | added | Lucia | I like the suggestion on questions -- certainly bad questions seem to be much more of a problem than bad answers. | |
| Oct 30, 2013 at 15:56 | comment | added | alvarezpaiva | If I have a real suggestion it would be to allow the posting of questions only to those how have 20 or more points. That would probably get rid of the a large proportion of nonsense questions. | |
| Oct 30, 2013 at 15:54 | comment | added | alvarezpaiva | No, I'm really not for verification and all that and the post is not really about what people should do, but about finding out what they think and whether they have thought on the cost and advantages of anonymity. BTW, I have to admit that browsing at the GM section of ArXiv brings a smile every time. | |
