Forum:Allowing anons to edit

Recently I discovered that anons (people without accounts) can't edit the wiki, after contacting staff i was told it was because the heavily vandalism that took place previously. The staff member I spoke with requested I start a discussion on whether or not anons should be allowed to edit once more on the wiki. All opinions and questions welcome.

I personally think anons should be allowed to edit again for the following reasons: That's why i think we should allow anons to edit again. Gracey91  ✉  08:02, September 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Anons often fix small errors, which means other users time can be better spent fixing other things.
 * I started out as an anon, I made over 50 edits before taking the time to make an account but if I had to make an account straight away I doubt I would have made any edits.
 * Many pages and some templates on this wiki were originally created by anons.
 * Many wikis have quite a lot of anons who's small contributions add together to make a serious impact.
 * Most of the previous serious vandalism was perpetrated by users with accounts, not anons.
 * One of the main concepts of a wiki is for anyone to have the ability to edit it, with or with out an account (protected pages are an exception).
 * As i run a bot i believe i can easily clean up any extra vandalism anons may create.
