Guidelines for using the anonymous feature
Moderating the anonymous feature We pledge that we will never reveal the identity of anonymous posters.
Please note that because people/trolls unfortunately do abuse the anonymous feature, moderators will sometimes have to check anonymous posters - this is necessary for us to do our job (catching trolls, getting rid of spam, etc.). If you want more complete anonymity from all of LW, then use your secondary accounts, which are allowed specifically for this reason.
The Times They Are A-Changin' It should be stressed that before this announcement, policy regarding the anonymous feature was unclear. However, from hereon in, the mod team will be viewing abuse of the anonymous feature somewhat disdainfully. The current status quo, whereby the feature is abused so much that genuine users get assumed to be trolls on a balance of probabilities by other users is prevents people from getting the help for which the feature was set up is completely unacceptable and has to change.

In theory, the mods will never tell who the psoter is. But I know for a fact, that this si not always the case.

Finally!! I was waiting for someone to make one of these. Why do people waste the anonymous features like that though.. why are you anonymous for making a post about your left toe that hurts? Thanks for doing this.
