Is this a qualifier to the idea of banning anonymous emails, or merely an example? That is, are you proposing the banning of long ranting emails posted under a pseudonym, or all emails posted under a pseudonym?
Would long ranting emails which were not anonymous also be banned?
I would be uncomfortable with any sort of restriction of one’s ability to post in a forum, or have one’s discussion limited to a particular forum, on the basis that one is using a pseudonym, and I’m pretty sure it’d be counted as an “exclusionary practice” under the Participation Guidelines. (Emphasis mine:)
Technically, how do you propose this is achieved? Are all emails to all mailing lists now going to have to be pre-moderated?
From what I can tell, your largest issue with these style of emails (and mine too), is the personal attacks. Since those already fall foul of the Participation Guidelines, is there a need for a new policy? (Emphasis mine:)
