Yeah I think one of the biggest risks with alt accounts is people using them for Shitty Stuff and it being difficult to figure out who exactly was responsible for it, and s'why I'm generally not in favor of 'em, have to agree with Wheat there. The 'only Chwoka account can post in Dark Hawspace' idea is taking this to an extreme and I also very much vote against. That's not even mentioning the issue that the forum will quickly die because I'm fairly sure most people do not want to go through the hassle of changing what account they're logged into just to post in another forum.
As for the threads without OP listed idea, I'd assume mods would still be able to see the thread OP (and you could also probably see it just by going to the first post in a thread). However, I still don't think it'd be a very productive step to take.
Re: a thread OP having some sort of nebulous 'control' over a thread Bob: Again, it depends on the thread. I don't think bigro going into the fuck, thread and telling people to stop posting would actually stop people from posting in there, since it's not a thread that revolves around bigro specifically.
After a certain amount of time and assuming a thread isn't defined as 'belonging' to a single poster (which is entirely reasonable when it is the case, such as with forum adventures!) the OP becomes mostly irrelevant in my eyes, as threads in general are a collaborative effort. Where it does stay relevant I think it's more valuable that it does - the 'ITT I will talk a bunch of shit on whatever you direct my attentions to' is meant to be a Schazer thing (see the 'my' in the title) and I'm a-ok with that, it's a thread they made for their own shit-talking impulses.
If you want a more community-based Shit Talking Thread there's nothing stopping you from making one!
