THE ANONYMOUS FEATURE  
The anonymous feature is intended to allow members to post potentially sensitive issues in the forums openly without fear of them being discovered by friends/family/real-life acquaintances, allowing members to enjoy more support than would otherwise have been possible.  


Guidelines for using the anonymous feature  

  • Use only when necessary - if there is no reason to post anonymously, please post under your username  
  • Do not use the anonymous feature to lie, troll, spam, perjure or harass other members, or in any other way that is malicious as this will constitute abuse of the anonymous feature. Respect the spirit in which the feature was created  
  • Abuse of the anonymous feature will be deemed an offense.  


    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.  

    Awesomeness,  

    Da Modz0rs

    In theory, the mods will never tell who the psoter is. But I know for a fact, that this si not always the case.
    I was there too... some people aren't meant to be mods

    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.


    AMEN I AGREE!!
