Okay, looks like I better not hold back. Banning anon users completely would be a totally dumb thing to do. There is a reason Wikia has that policy. Yes, anon users are the bulk of the problem, but by being anonymous, they are ANNOUNCING that they are likely to be a problem. If you force everyone to sign up to do anything, then it will be that much harder to distinguish who is serious and who is going to be a problem.

That said, anon users shouldn't have free reign. I'm not familiar with the Wikia software specifically, but maybe you could restrict anon users from editing? Just allow them to post in the Share pages and the Game discussion forum? If people can hop on and post their friend code or ask their question in the appropriate place, casual users will be less likely to bother with the rest of it.
