mmm, sometimes it's necessary. if it's a spam topic and i think it belongs to a member who has previously been warned about abusing the anonymous feature but the topic doesn't need to be trashed, i'll check and see who the person is so i know the appropriate action to take.
Give me an example situation

 

 ...my reply was basically an example. let's say a member has been info warned about making anonymous topics concerning wetting the bed or something. i see an anonymous topic about wetting the bed. the topic isn't against the guidelines so it shouldn't be trashed, but i suspect it's this particular member. i check who it is, and then take the appropriate action against the member.


What the fuck could you have against anon topics about bedwetting

that's a serious issue for some people  

bastards


A bedwetter killed my parents.

We have multiple members, who will post the same topic over and over again anonymously, despite whatever support they may get.

She received no response to this either, but felt a momentary
confusion as to whether it was she or her reflection who asked
the question.

Knock it off, Bearsy. You're being picky to cause a scene. We have certain spammers who repeatedly join the forums and will occasionally post anonymously. Such as the guy who posts about blocking a girl's slap or the guy who posts about girls with big boobs. If we see an anonymous topic we think is them, we'll check and see who posted so we can see if it's just the same person back again.

The pregnancy forum also gets quite a number of trolls posting just to cause shock waves about teen pregnancy and abortions and all. So occasionally I look if I get troll vibes. If it's not a troll, I click away and that's it.

We don't sit around gossiping about who anonymously posted what. We move on and 98% of the time completely forget who posted it.

If it's the slap-blocking dude, delete that thread straight up.

Besides, is there anything you could really do if you found out someone who made a fake pregnancy post was fake? You're just quenching your curiosity.

And you cannot cause a scene on the Internet, it's a fact.

...what curiosity? i guarantee you that none of the mods give two shits about people who make anonymous topics unless it somehow directly relates to their own personal life.

There's nothing you could do if someone was abusing the pregnancy forum, so why else look

who says we do? you? you have no evidence to back that up and your claim that the mods are out to get you because they deleted an anonymous topic by you comes off as pathetic and whiny. really, we don't care, and you're flattering yourself if you think we do.

I didn't say mods are out to get me.

I'm questioning the rules for the good of LW, mods always respond to my topics with "Oh you whiney little brat, you want the rules bent for you etc etc"

I am not saying that at all.

 Yes, there are things we can do.

Delete it, make note of it, if it's a habitual abuser, informal warning, formal warning, or farther.

Just because a member uses anonymous to troll, or make fake topics doesn't mean they are protected.
