Likely not.
But maybe some good moderation. On my blogger, I have an option to default hide comments and I would either approve them or not. There is also an option to default allow anonymous comments until certain days have passed. Added Edit: Actually any comments. Added Edit Done.
Some anonymous users can be useful. If account is required, then a lot of discouragement of good comments will render. Besides, a lot of anonymous people might just make a bunch of accounts, then it might be abandoned. Don't forget multiple accounts.
As for the ratings system. It's already likely abused by irrational people who can't handle a legal healthy debate. If we limit ratings off anonymous, which in some cases are not much different than those with accounts then might as well ditch the whole thing maybe.

Account abandoned and probably will make a new anonymous account with no trace of evidence of it being me. I think it's justified.
