Community Wishlist

• http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/881015.html -- enable anonymous posting in communities. Some types of comms have a particular need/wish for this, others very much do not want it as it has high abuse potential. One counter-suggestion to just have people create sockpuppets to preserve their anonymity was rejected as leading to namesquatting; even if accounts are deleted, people still have to pay for renames. Other counter-suggestion, to enable masking of a poster's identity, while still associating the post with an account (viewable by the community mods) was regarded more favorably.

• Posting template for paid comms (suggested by azurelunatic): Like the suggestions template, but available to paid comms to force everyone but someone with maintainer status to go through a template, and to be able to create a template. People could still abuse it, of course, but the maintainers could make very clear where everything was supposed to go. Only on posting not on edit (meant to be helpful, and not enforce the rule)
  • On the other hand, templates could also be optional. There are different kinds of templates a community might want--intro template, fiction post template, etc, and they might only want to facilitate using them to make it easy, not force every post to use them --Foxfirefey 06:25, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
