- I think guest postings are absolutely crucial. - "Long time pseudonyms are problematic for many reasons." [1] - One who is interested in Tor, is interested in anonymity and abstains more likely from pseudonyms. - People start getting interested in a forum using the guest accounts. After a while or after they got annoyed by trolls faking their name, they register. - Most .onion boards allow guest postings. Also the i2p forum allows guest postings. - You get much more activity. - Much more one time contributions. - Wikipedia grew with guest postings. - If you do it well, you won't run into trouble with spam, just like the examples I stated above.
