To be honest, my first reaction is "Hell no!", and an indignant one at that. I mean, I'm here to post a secret, not to whore myself to the spectators. And my secret is secret for a reason. Hence, even this anonymous commenting. It's the point. If I want any identifying bread crumbs, I might as well just post on my own journal.
It does make me question however: Just who is this comm for really?
If it's for people who simply wish to safely tell their secret, then naturally the more anonymous the better, and the above question shouldn't even be asked. If it's for the spectator, then you better make the above solution into a rule stat, add specialized comment threads for each secret on top of it, and do whatever else needed to make the comment reading/commenting process as convenient as possible.
At the end of the day though, the answer is probably closest to: both. This place exists for the secret maker, the spectator, and people who are either. Thus, the most logical answer is a compromise: Encourage it, but don't make it a rule. It's the best of both worlds, isn't it?
