This is a security site. What kind of posts would need to posted anonymously to avoid embarrassment?

"I accidentally reformatted my hard drive?"

If that's the case, then you better get over it. When learning about computers and such there is a lot of trial and error and a lot of what is deemed silly questions from people who don't know.

Anything else, such as personal problems, sexuallity, any other issues which may give the need to hide behind an anonymous crutch...really don't belong at AO anyway.

I think AO is fine as it is. You shouldn't even be coming here with posts like "Girl Trouble" or some of the other crappy posts we've seen of late. AO is a security site NOT a place to say whatever's on your mind. An anonymous forum would lead to a hell of a lot of abuse. IMHO, it's not a good idea.

Hi all.

I think its not such a good idea to allow guests to post for many reasons, (the main reason being the antipoint system. A solution would be to create forums where guests are allowed to post, but not in all the forlums. Also, if they wanna post something thats "embarrasing", just like Greek Godess said, then this is the wrong place todo so. Dont change the current forums, but add forums for issues like this. Let there be forumes for guests, for anything they want, but dont interfeer with the current ones, as they are what makes AO what it is and they are great so far.
Which brings up the following though like some of you have mentioned, its enough work to keep things right as it is, and does JP have the time or the mood to create something for guests.

Let people sign up and be able to participate, and lets keep AO to the subject its always been. Embarrasing subjects that people dont want to post cannot really be computer security related.

Cheers everyone :cool:

I have two words "Anon. Flame", it's a novel idea but if we did this we'd get flame and hate mail all over, also, we COULDNT give the Mod's or even JP the abilety to read who its from or the entire concept of Anonomus is lost.....

it's a good idea, but with a world like this, it will never be realized...sorry.
