| Jul 26, 2012 at 18:51 | comment | added | ale | The ability of unregistered users to participate has been part of the feature set of Stack Overflow and then the rest of the Stack Exchange network from the beginning. However, due to the overwhelming number of questions at Stack Overflow, they have closed off the ability to ask questions without registering, but on that site only. If Super User is seeing the same scale of issues then I'm sure that management will consider it here. | |

I just always felt like the "no registration" part was an important cornerstone of the "openness" of StackExchange. Personally, I wouldn't feel well about sacrificing it. A different solution to the issue would be interesting. Sadly, I can't offer one at this point in time :( | |

If the user were registered, he could still comment on answers, and edit his question. | |
| Jul 25, 2012 at 20:25 | comment | added | Dennis | My main point for questions is precisely that unregistered accounts make it harder to participate, not easier. Consider this question, for example. There are many others. | |
