With registered users, you will get webamasters who post there on occasion. Eventually, their nick will become recognized and what they say will carry more weight (or be known as BS). The cookies and name/pass can be a useful combo for helping to ensure that the poster is actually who they claim to be (nickwise anyway).

Sure, you'll still get anonymous posters whipping up a quick nick, but their first few postings would come with a grain of salt. If 10 different newbies post the same complaint (trying to substantiate 'different newbie' by the cookies/IP) then that complaint would get more merit.

I personally think it'd be a good idea. The anonymous posts would still be there anyway but it'll be a more solid board in the long run when established posters are contributing and the chances of forgery are minimized.
