What if someone you know is on LW and you don't want them to know it's you that posted something?
Create a second account solely for the purpose of posting private stuff.

Yeah, most people don't want to create a second account anyways.

Ah, yes but what about those that really need to use it.

Take me for example. I haven't told everyone of my friends I'm bi, and if I find out that one of them has an account here now I would have to go back and make posts [like this one] anonymous (and remove the 54). If we don't have that feature I'm screwed.

You can go back to your account and just put "FEMALE". With no title.


Yes, but I have made numerous posts about my sexuality and Marisa.

It take 2 minutes to make a second account.

Don't remove it. If people want to troll, they'll do it anyways on separate accounts.

Some people feel like they can't ruin they're "e-reputation" if they post a problem that's personal. Maybe it's some gross health problem that they don't want their online friends to know about.

Anon should, and will, stay in place.


Agree completely with the bold part.

Sometimes they don't want other members, who they may know in real life, to know about certain things.

Take a fucking chill pill and come back later.

This is just an IDEA! It's not something that will be implemented right away.

I seriously think that in order for you to post Anon your post must be approved first so we can filter out Trolls.
Actually I quite like this idea.

But I don't know if the Mods will like it. Approving it = more work for them.

They could have support leaders do it to.  Or create a board of people that just approves Anon topics.

It's not fair that it gets eliminated just because certain people have to abuse the privilege and ruin it for those who actually use it for the sole purpose.

I don't think it should be removed. Points are hard to get, especially if a member has been warned and has some massive negative number of points, so allowing it only to the wealthy is stupid. And it's not fair for a person to waste their alternate account on posting embarrassing things, sometimes people like to have it open for other reasons, and sometimes they make friends on it.

As for abolishing it completely, NO. People need to be able to post their problems without running the risk of getting made fun of for them through PMs etc. Some people would rather not post at all then post under their membername, and those people will not get the support that they need, especially if they don't want to write an eHelp (and if the anon feature is taken from eHelp, that's INSANE).

Maybe people with trolling history could get IP banned from posting anonymously. That way, abuse of the anon feature could result in it's removal from that account and all alternate accounts of that person, while keeping it open for the general public.

One more thing: Why would restricting anon use to people with more points be of any help at all? You can have spammers with red bars, for crying out loud. It's not like having a blue bar all of a sudden makes you a perfect member.
