Thank your for the clearer answer. However, I still find it odd that you claim you can't share the "exact criteria". While I am certainly all for these changes, as the IP users on the wikis I work on are, 90% of the time, vandals, (although, frankly, this should be done everywhere) I find it very strange that communities are being judged, and nobody wants to tell us exactly what we're being judged on. Semant just said they will be explaining more of this later this/next week. Anyway, I really agree with the anons being blocked. It helps keep vandals, and trolls off the wiki giving everyone less stress. Helps keep vandals from destroying pages and creating meaningless pages like "poop" or swearing, even off topic information like this: http://beyblade.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Log?limit=500&type=delete&month=&year= I just browsed around and seen all of this.

However, I do feel sorry for those who are not vandals and that they contribute to the wiki all year long. I seen some who can't create an account because they are not allowed to (usually). I just saddens me to see that. But these are rules we need to follow. I just don't understand why everyone doesn't create an account. Never does it make sense to me. I'm not sure but maybe this would help encourage anons to make an account if they are really desperate to contribute to any wiki they desire.
