3) That's not a good analogy. And, "Just because?" Just? The reason why positive edits made by anonymous users are often overlooked makes perfect sense, and is very significant.

4) It still can happen? Please name wikis that has well known anonymous contributors, and post links. I would like to see that.

5) That wasn't meant to be taken literally. The point is, that's like saying "I should be able to upload videos to YouTube without an account.",  "I should be able to travel the skies without having a passport.", or "I should be able to have a bank account without signing up"

6) "You can just let them have their fun for a while." There's no point to this. Wikia isn't about letting spammers have fun and letting registered users constantly clean up after them. Just because spam can be reverted easily, doesn't mean that people should have to do it constantly for unnecessary reasons.

Again, all wikis have pages that are protected so only registered users can edit them, it's a precautionary action. It's a part of Wikia; get used to it.

"SO MUCH HASSLE?" Just a few clicks and a few minutes of your time is so much hassle? No offence, but that right there is a really weak argument. Just keep in mind that we're not forcing you to create an account, we respect your choice to be anonymous.
