Welcome. I posted a simple (general) rule to follow on the comment pop up screen: If you wouldn't repeat your comments in person, don't leave them on this site.
As long as everyone behaves, there won't be a need to moderate or require registration on this site. Doug Phares is encountering a problem because there are so many haters using the Register that the bad comments are 'eclipsing' the good ones.
Most of the time there were so many inane comments that the time spent wading through the garbage gave little redeeming value. Hopefully that will be different here.
I'd like to see this become a 'team blog' - meaning more than one person writes it. The topics should be of interest to the firelands area. If you're interested in becoming part of the team, contact me at sanduskyregurgitator@yahoo.com.
Frankly, I don't understand the big deal over the changes at the Register. An anonymous email address is probably the only thing that they will require, so I don't see what all the hub-bub is about. The Register is responsibly managing their product. It's what the community expects.
I am a proponent of registration only because the Register commenting section was completely out of hand. For some reason, the commenters were not running off the abusers like they do on some other internet forums. That was the hope, but it didn't happen.
As of right now, this site doesn't require registration. If it's inundated with abusers, chances are we'll go to registration too. Until then, have fun.
