In order to halt spammers and cretons from leaving garbage on this public accessible web site, PoliWatch requires everyone who wishes to leave comments or post articles on this site to either Sign In, or provide their name and email address for confirmation before their comment or article submission can be published.
The Sign In option allows frequent visitors to verify their identity once, and from then on, they simply have to click on the Sign In option, and the PW system will automatically sign them in. PoliWatch makes available several options for identity verification, including OpenID and TypeKey. These services will verify your email address, tie it to your ISP address, and from that point forward, you need not enter your name and email on this, or many other sites, anymore. Simply click sign in, and the system automatically logs you in using your ISP address which it also automatically detects.
The Anonymous option is not really anonymous. It simply means that you will be required to enter your name and email address before posting each comment or article, and your comments or articles will not be published until a PW editor has reviewed and approved the comment or article.
Exception: If you check the "Remember Me" box after signing in anonymously, in the future you will only need to enter your name, and our system will fill in the email and optional URL by matching your name and IP address to our database records.
The PW software records ISP addresses with every entry, and thus we have have a way of banning those who would leave garbage on our site, from ever entering anything here again.
