The SearchVoat Forum

I rarely posted to any sub besides QRV. People tend to judge, hold grudges etc. Not interested in followers or haters or whatever. Probably will not participate much without anonymity.

Edit: I would like to try to clarify for those who “don’t get it.” Firstly, these boards keep every post and comment in the user profile so that any user can look and see the history of any other user. Just yesterday on GA.win I saw a comment along the lines of, “well, don’t put too much stock in username because she sometimes goes off half-cocked.” I would prefer that my words be judged on their merit alone, not on my post/comment history. As should everyones. We should be allowed to make mistakes, but we are not. And the shilling is merciless.
Secondly, I have a great deal of technical expertise in certain areas. If the sub is not anonymous, I will not comment because I may be recognized. I recognized one of my former colleagues several times even though he was posting in QRV. If he had had a username, I would have been able to identify him.
So, if you want input from the likes of me, you need more anonymity.

I don't get those, I don't answer or talk differently on the anon subs, I'm not building a protecting an image of myself, merely being myself.

I guess I get your point, but I don't get why the need to be another level of anon beyond the username.

If my real id was released it would be bad, sure, I don't want to lose my job or wreck my wife's circles of shallow friends. My real friends I can talk the same to either way, so I dunno.

On these phpbb forms I'm not sure that's an option up front, but it's a good idea if it gets you to be more honest with what you want to say.

If it can't be done in phpbb, getting an imageboard like tinyib going and then throwing a link to it in the top bar might be good.

Moderating an imageboard can be a much bigger pain in the ass than a forum, though.

I never reallygot this either but if for some people its neccesary to be able participate seems like a small thing.
