> - Not sure if this would be a feature or a bug, but if we can allow people to post without first creating a profile that might A) lower friction in the onboarding flow, and B) make it easier for people to say what they really want without compromising their reputation (if that’s a thing people become concerned with)

I think this harms transparency and attribution. So I think there needs to be a very strong use-case for this to be helpful I think. About B) people being able to speak more freely, I think there should be off-the-record channels available for this reason. But I don’t think it should be a large public stage, like the forums. I think having to stake your reputation to use the public stage is important to the health of that stage and the community as a whole.

Current off-the-record channels would be private messages on the forums, or direct messages on Discord.
