-- Posted by davjs at 11:51 pm on Sep. 22, 2006 Have you ever posted something on LiveWire that you truly don't want anyone to know about? 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. -- Posted by gustavojack at 11:51 pm on Sep. 22, 2006 I can ACTUALLY tell friends about LiveWIRE now, ONCE I hide that awful post I made about my ex-girlfriend. This is awesome, great work David! -- Posted by gerardlawler at 11:52 pm on Sep. 22, 2006 Thank you that is avery good idea. IT should help alot of people -- Posted by mister jeff at 11:52 pm on Sep. 22, 2006 I'll STOP making new accounts for privacy now. I'll just mark my old posts anonymous if I need to. ...I don't know, but I think that if I "mark" a few of my embarrassing posts anonymous I'll **Finally** be able to tell my friend Jon about LiveWire. I've been kind of hiding it, but it'd be neat if he was a member. -- Posted by asia lover at 11:56 pm on Sep. 22, 2006 Oh good idea, thanks that is twice you helped me out! -- Posted by Vicodin at 12:00 am on Sep. 23, 2006 Loveeeeeee it. -- Posted by davjs at 12:02 am on Sep. 23, 2006 I'm glad you approve! -- Posted by ilovecookies at 12:15 am on Sep. 23, 2006 Weee!!!! Thanks David. I'm sure alot of us will be happier now. I remember MissPiggy wanted to delete her searches from google. She would be happy too. I honestly don't understand why people are making such a big deal out of this? I can't find any negative aspects. Huzzah! -- Posted by jinalyn at 12:24 am on Sep. 23, 2006 Yeah,that's a nice idea. Thanks! -- Posted by victim raven at 12:25 am on Sep. 23, 2006 Thats a great idea. -- Posted by Napster the Hacker at 12:34 am on Sep. 23, 2006 Good one David, But lol there is nothing to hide with my friends coz I have never posted something personal here any ways I think now I can do that.   -- Posted by Link01 at 2:46 am on Sep. 23, 2006 cool -- Posted by xestrangedx at 3:30 am on Sep. 23, 2006 Good idea thanks. I might tell one or two of my friends now - if they havent seen the banner of this place on Myspace first. Thank you. -- Posted by Kuzaki at 4:01 am on Sep. 23, 2006 Meh, I don't use that feature anyway but I'm sure a lot of people will sleep easier. -- Posted by Lil pink at 7:01 am on Sep. 23, 2006 I love you.... thats really great! i live in dread that someday someone from school will see my posts.. -- Posted by audrey820 at 9:11 am on Sep. 23, 2006 This is fantastic. I already had to edit a topic so it didn't say anything when my sister found the site.  It was about her... -- Posted by 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? -- Posted by somethinorwatever at 11:49 am on Sep. 23, 2006 Quote: from gustavojack at 11:51 pm on Sep. 22, 2006 I can ACTUALLY tell friends about LiveWIRE now...

No, but you can message a moderator to have them edit the quoted poster name if need be. -- Posted by big mac 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?

Then everything seems fool proof to me. -- Posted by LimeWire 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 -- Posted by Anonymous 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* -- Posted by Apotheosis at 5:48 pm on Sep. 23, 2006 Wait, what community feel? I thought we made damn sure we got rid of that. -- Posted by Spice at 7:48 am on Sep. 24, 2006 YaY!
