I have often not posted a problem or replied to a topic because many of my friends are on LiveWire, and I really love that they use it, but some things are so very personal that I'd prefer that my friends just not know. That is why there are new "Mark Anonymous" links in topics and replies that you posted before September 20th (the date the anonymous posts feature became available). Respect Anonymous Posting This is an important feature that gives people a voice where before they were too hesitant to post. Please show your peers respect and use anonymous posting when you need that extra protection of your privacy. Using an anonymous reply to make fun of someone or joke around degrades it for everyone and if we catch anyone doing this we will consider it a non-contributing post. This is a Limited Feature Everyone has been assigned a limit of replies and topics based upon the number of posts they have made. When you mark a post as anonymous you will receive a private message alerting you of how many more posts you can mark anonymous. Why is it limited? I don't want you to mark all of your posts anonymous because it takes away from the community feel that we work so hard to create here on LiveWire. You're going to be allowed to mark about 2% of your posts anonymous, but I ask that you resist marking even that many anonymous unless you truly feel that you must. Tips If you are marking a post anonymous in a topic you created: STOP Instead, mark the topic anonymous and all of your posts in that topic will be marked anonymous. Otherwise people will know you are the original poster due to the orange original poster brackets around your name.

Spice Posted at 7:48 am on Sep. 24, 2006 YaY! Thankies David! =D Apotheosis Posted at 5:48 pm on Sep. 23, 2006 Wait, what community feel? I thought we made damn sure we got rid of that. Anonymous Posted at 2:56 pm on Sep. 23, 2006 I love you David you sexy thang Love Fenris DAMMIT! I kid, of course, and I suppose this doesn't really help with the proper use of this feature. I think it's a great feature. It might even help with people posting in e-help just to remain annonymous. I have yet to use this feature, but my girlfriend is on this site too, so it'll definately help with that situation. Three...I mean two thumbs up, Dave *ahem* LimeWire Posted at 1:38 pm on Sep. 23, 2006 that's cool. i want to change some of mine just to see how it looks. lol big mac Posted at 12:32 pm on Sep. 23, 2006 Quote: from davjs at 3:18 pm on Sep. 23, 2006 Quote: from big mac at 11:37 am on Sep. 23, 2006 What about members that have quoted your original post? Will that be turned to anonymous as well? No, but you can message a moderator to have them edit the quoted poster name if need be. Then everything seems fool proof to me. davjs Posted at 12:18 pm on Sep. 23, 2006 Quote: from big mac at 11:37 am on Sep. 23, 2006 What about members that have quoted your original post?
