If QRV is changed from anon to non-anon, will all former posts be visible...?
Yes, definitely!
Never wondered when beeing informed personally on replies?
In QRV no user names are displayed when you are logged in as a normal user. Yet you are informed about submission and comment replies. How is this possible?
Very simple: Voat is based on a database with a tree structure that containing nodes that can be submissions or comments. These nodes are identified by unique number values like 3040726 (submission) or 16902328 (comment). Even in Subverses displaying usernames these number values are unique, so they differ for every post even of the same user.
For QRV the same data is stored as it is for any other subverse. The only difference in QRV is that the display mode is switched, so when the displayed page is generated out of the database, the numbers are inserted instead of the usernames.
The display mode can be switched easyly for the view of some mods and the board owner. So they can see the user names even on QRV!

Why wouldn't Q use his military intelligence to shut down the spammers?
Oh right, because it's bullshit that's why.
18744362? ago
If Q doesn’t do it he is a larp.
18744386? ago
At least we agree

Putt wants the mods to deal with it
18743890? ago
The QRV community doesn’t.
18744163? ago
The community speaks with its upvoats.
18744376? ago
Exactly

It doesn’t effect me so I don’t care what people use their energy for.
18745666? ago
Sounds like that's a YES!
