When I grow up I want to be bitter and spiteful.

I figure if we're going to actually allow people to comment on news posts (which I am somewhat opposed to, as most comments rarely contribute anything), it shouldn't have to be restricted to Bungie.net accounts. However; there are two important factors when considering this: moderation and necessity. The issue of moderation has already been raised, and it would clearly require new methods and effort to enforce moderation to non-bungie.net accounts. When considering this and the effort required to incorporate the system, I ask if there really is such a populous fanbase that would like to comment on Bungie news but would not want an account. If there is a considerable number of people like this, then I would have no problem with such accounts commenting on news. This is the first mention I have heard of this dilemma, though.
I would not want such accounts integrated to the forums (Crimson forums as an exception) on whole, as it would confuse and splinter the existing Bungie.net population, not to mention increasing favoritism biases and introducing photo avatar biases. Additionally, I would not like to fully alter the comment system to that of the example posted, for I would not support a rating system or alter comments to a reply-basis.
