Blaine, one thing the user's on my site really want (and me too) is a 
way to filter anonymous posts from forums.  This is a bit complicated. 
But the idea is:

1) in user settings allow them to filter out anonymous posts.  You 
*could* just use the same filter settings GL uses OR start your own.  I 
don't have much of an opinion on it though separating them would make it 
more flexible
2) If a user is filtering anonymous posts and a new topic is started by 
an anonymous post, hide the topic all together.
3) If a user is filtering anonymous posts for a topic, give a count of 
filtered posts somewhere on the page.  Also, give a link to 'show all 
posts'.
