What is the anonymous feature & how do I use it?
The anonymous feature is LiveWire's way of recognizing the need for our users to protect their identity from the rest of the community under special circumstances. It allows for our users to post sensitive information free from the fear of being criticized, ridiculed, or thought differently of by peers. However, it's highly important to note that the feature is strictly reserved for only the most sensitive of information! If used in a malicious or unwarranted way, your topic will be removed and further action may be taken against your account to ensure you understand that abuse of the feature will not be tolerated.
How do I use the anonymous feature?
- Replies: To post an anonymous reply, click on the "Go Advanced" button at the very bottom of the topic you wish to reply to. Once you've typed your reply content, simply click on the box beside "Mark my reply anonymous" (directly below the FAQ Keyword Search box). Once you've clicked the box, press the "Add Reply" button to post anonymously. Note: You may use this feature up to 4 times every 24 hours.
- Topics: To post an anonymous topic, begin the same way you would to post any other topic. Once you've typed your topic content, simply click on the box beside "Mark this topic anonymous" (directly below the FAQ Keyword Search box). Once you've clicked the box, press the "Create Topic" button to post anonymously. Note: You may use this feature up to 2 times every 24 hours.
Note: You must have obtained 75 points (Lawn Care Specialist:  ) to use this feature.
Will anyone know I created the topic or post?
The regular population of LiveWire is unable to see who is behind an anonymous posting. However, due to rampant abuse, LiveWire moderators have been given the ability to check behind an anonymous posting. It is important to note, however, that we strongly value and respect the confidentiality of our members and we are strictly forbidden from needlessly checking behind an anonymous posting unless we suspect abuse.
What counts as abuse of the anonymous feature?
In short, there are two requirements that need to be met before you should use the anonymous feature. The first requirement is that you must be asking for support or help in some way. The second requirement is that you must be revealing something that is reasonably private or embarrassing. If both of these stipulations are unmet, then you're expected to either use your regular account, or a second account. Our goal is to limit the anonymous feature to only necessary circumstances, not for trivial purposes. It's important to note that if you continuously misuse the anonymous feature, or use it in a malicious way (attacking another user, encouraging harm, etc.), it's very likely it will be deemed an offense.
