Unregistered comments are back on

When more than one "Anonymous" posts in a comment thread it becomes very confusing. As Blogger will not let us disable that one choice and keep the others, we instead will remove any comments posted as "Anonymous" (using the "anonymous" choice in the comment form), which were very few.

We want everyone to be able to comment, registered with some service or not, so... Anonymous comments are back on. BUT - you MUST post with some kind of nickname. You cannot post as "Anonymous" or comment will be deleted.

You do not have to give your Etsy name or site, you don't have to offer more then a made-up nickname merely to reply to you by. Pick whatever silly name you choose, but if you wish to be anonymous to comment here (and believe us, we understand why!) you will have to pick some kind of nickname.

Also while we're on it, we are going to ask that people NOT attack other sellers specifically in the comments. We're trying to get Etsy to change it's stripes not make people cry (unless they are admins) or feed the trolls. We here at EB are trying to spotlight Etsy Admin inadequacies, and sometimes the occasional forum trainwreck to show the mess the "community of Etsy" is in due largely to admin mismanagement and lack or respect for it's members.

Everyone cool with that?
