I made a topic asking what an acronym stood for.
Almost everyone on this forum uses this acronym and I had no idea what it stood for.
Because I did not want to get harassed by everyone who was looking at the thread, I posted it as anon.

Then my thread was closed and I got points subtracted for misuse of anon feature.

So I put in an appeal and they said I had no grounds for using the anon feature and another point was subtracted from my account.

What the heck?!?!

I've come to the conclusion the mods here suck, too. You probably will soon as well.

Perhaps there is a genuine reason, but I'm curious as to what it is...why's it matter whether the topic is serious or not when the anon function is used? If they don't want it to be overused, just put a limit. Different people find different things more embarrassing than others. It's not fair to just assume everyone's the same in regards to what they are and aren't comfortable with.

Because no one reported them
The mods don' spend all day hunting for anon abusers.
If they come across one, they delete it.
Otherwise it has to be reported for them to delete it.

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!


To be honest, asking what an acronym used by other members stands for is not most sensitive at all.  I think even you can agree on this.  It's OK that you didn't want to be harassed by asking such a simple question.  But according to the FAQs, that is not good enough reason to use the anon feature.


The FAQ goes on to say:


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.

I didn't see your topic but you were probably not revealing anything that is 'reasonably private.'  In fact, you probably could of just privately messaged a member.  Why could you just do that for such a simple question?  Practically, anyone could answer your question about what an acronym stood for.  Even if the first person you asked didn't know, it's not going out of your way to message someone else.

And the FAQ tells you what to do next since you didn't meet the requirements:  Use another account if it means that much to you.  But again, the private message system is much quicker.


Our goal is to limit the anonymous feature to only necessary circumstances, not for trivial purposes.

Trivial purposes AKA what does "blah" stand for.


I'm not surprised that you were fined 1 point.  The FAQs are there for a reason and they were used in your case.  It's hard to argue your point when technically your reasoning doesn't hold water and the rules are there for you to read.
