Absolute no to the bolded. You must be new to the internet if you think people are going to be more authentic if they can post anonymously.Also, and I don't know if someone has already suggested this, but, there needs to be a dating/marriage/friendship/relationship sub-forum. A place where the nuances of these various different relationships can be discussed. We also need the ability to post anonymously, in certain sub-forums, so that authentic discussions can be had.
Update: mybad yall I've been extremely busy this weekend. I'm gonna take all the GOOD ideas from this thread and send them to brook. It should be done by Tuesday
Tell him we need a new mod in the coliseum too.
With good moderation, it could work. Again, it would only be for certain sub-forums. Sub-forums for important, serious conversations. Obviously not for TLR.Absolute no to the bolded. You must be new to the internet if you think people are going to be more authentic if they can post anonymously.

You are missing the point. What makes you think that there will be serious conversation if you can post without consequence? At least now, posters can be added to the ignore or bushed if they crossed the line(which isn't much) and you think taking that away is going lead to authentic/serious conversations?With good moderation, it could work. Again, it would only be for certain sub-forums. Sub-forums for important, serious conversations. Obviously not for TLR.
I think so. For example, maybe a poster has something he/she wants to get off of his/her chest. Maybe a serious confession. Maybe they have a regret that they want to share with others for relief/advice. As it is right now, that poster wouldn't be able to share that information without it following them. With the ability to post anonymously, that poster would be able to converse with others and not have to worry about other posters bringing up that information later as a way to slight them. I think it could work well with proper moderation. Obviously you'd have some posters who would try to abuse it, but that can be expected with any feature. That's just how I feel about it.You are missing the point. What makes you think that there will be serious conversation if you can post without consequence?

But certain things should follow a poster. For example, there was a poster who made a very inappropriate comment about an underage girl on a TV show. It's bad enough that posters can change their usernames but just imagine if he was able to post that anonymously.I think so.

Which is where a mod would, ideally, step in and take the necessary steps to dealing with a poster like that (i.e. revealing that poster and banning them).But certain things should follow a poster.
