I don't want to disturb the super highly frequented thread for praise of DavidT anymore with my off-topic remarks concerning problems with this site, so I open a new one.
Citation from David's policy (http://www.morrissey-solo.com/content/1345-General-Posting-Policy):
It's so nice that you have that in your guidelines. But it's useless if it's just in the guidelines and is not actually applied in reality. Whom are you kidding, people complain every other day about anonymous abuse, about massive off-topic especially in concert threads, so you're obviously not filtering that stuff despite claiming to do so.
I don't understand people who complain about anonymous posts. Those posts are automatically moderated before publishing, so what you see is basically an excerpt of what moderators of this site approve. If you want to complain about anon posts, then please address the people responsible, which is the moderators. They could easily block the off-topic nonsense and personal abuse, yet they don't. And DavidT pretends to wonder why people draw the conclusion that he has indeed an agenda.
Because I'll ignorantly be asked for examples to prove my obvious point, here they are, and I didn't even go for the redundant posts, because that's somehow in the eye of the beholder, and I ignored all but one post from that benny-the-bullshitter, but these are clearly off-topic or abusive or both:

And don't get me started on the registered trolls that you can't be bothered to ban. In fact, those contribute much more to this site's reputation than the anon posts. But please, David, don't tell me you're interested in Johnny Barleycorn's obsessed ramblings about Morrissey. If you're not then ban him and if you are, you need help.

Users may post anonymously on the site but due to abuse, all anonymous posts need to be approved by a moderator before appearing on the site. [...]
In general, an anonymous post is not approved if it is off-topic, redundant, or personally abusive.
