I would like to be able to give anonymous users access by domain name or IP address used to connect to the server. For example, if there is a domain which has particularly disruptive users, I would like to be able to either have their anonymous comments come up with a user name of "User from example.com" for the user name rather than "Anonymous", or be able to prevent them from making anonymous comments. I would prefer to allow anonymous comments generally though.

Alternatively, it might be desirable to allow anonymous comments from only selected domains.

By domain; probably not, since it is insecure. By; could be done (I think).

Still valid to current version?

Bringing it back to discussion.

I would absolutely love to see this feature.

Or the posibility of a craigslist style editing scheme with a custom edit/delete link emailed to the user upon node creation.

I don't think that this [very-specific] functionality should be handled by Drupal core.

You can already restrict visitors through your network infrastructure, .htaccess, writing your own access module or using a contrib module such as Restrict IP.

Also, as was already mentioned, restrictions by domain aren't secure and the user could simply register for an account.
