I'm not saying don't go with the community, just making sure that everyone knows the drawbacks. :)

Just remember&mdash;vandalism is a nuisance, but we shouldn't think of it as "cyber-attacks." The moment we think about vandalism in big terms, like it's a big deal, is the moment the vandals win. They're seeking attention, nothing more. Even the discussion about removing anon editors, while not inappropriate, is giving the vandals a win, in a way. The more time you spend talking about them, the more they're getting the attention that they were craving. Disabling anon editing is a way of constantly telling them that they beat you.
