I did read carefully and understood your post, my point is that "the best of
their ability" will hardly be enough to get rid of cheaters but far enough to
get rid of honest ones with obvious pseudos.

I much prefer to see a post form "KarinsDad" than from "Roberto Fischer" (soory
if that one exists, it is not on purpose :o) because at least I have no doubt
about the first one being a pseudo.

This is very hard.

And we risk to have always the very few same posters. Even if they are often the
most interesting to read, diversity is great and some less knowledgeable ones
can sometimes start interesting topics.

I understand you as well as those that are completely pro or against anonymous
accounts, probably none of us is completely right or wrong, this is a matter of
debate but the final choice may have a big influence on what ccc will look like
in coming months and years.

And, to be completely fair I think it is much more important to keep people like
Mr. Hyatt or Moreland (and many more) here than people like me because they are
the heart of this club, we all read their posts, get answers from them etc. But
it would be nice to keep all those that want to participate and not destroy.
Take ChessFun for example, she is not a computer chess expert programmer but she
brings a lot of life here too.
