(...) I haven't been posting as much lately due to the increased noise in the group. It's getting better, but there has been a lot of non-space related posting going on. I usually just post via the web and stay logged on. No problems with (...) (23 years ago, 15-Aug-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Yep. Basically the authentication thingy has cut way down on the number of "make a 'gee that's a nice MOC' comment" posts that I make. Now, I generally don't post unless I feel like I have something important (?) enough to say that it (...) (23 years ago, 15-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) This too crossed my mind, however - 1) i'm far too lazy to go look 2) my apathy is great. :) I would be inclined to say that it's more of a global slump - I would hope that people who thought strongly enough about the issue would have (...) (23 years ago, 15-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Yep. That. I switched over to Web posting while in Europe; I stayed on it now that I'm back, even though I'm not on the T3 pipe (droooool) anymore. (...)

(...) This has been proposed before - however, authuntication is not so much about protecting the users, it's more about protecting the community.

Maybe there could be some kind of user preference thing where you choose whether you want to authenticate messages or something? Though I don't know much about the Usenet network, so I really don't know how difficult it'd be to program that... (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)

well, 2 things 1) we have to trust Todd that if the auth hurts the site, he'll remove it. If it drives away posts then its not worth having, merely because someone once forged a few messages.
