I think a better way to handle anonymity on voat would be to handle it more like the chans do it. On the chans you're anon, but you can tell who the same anon is in each thread if they post multiple times. Kind of like how you can always tell when the OP comments on an anon voat thread.
You can't even tell if the conversation you're having is with the same person here or if every new post is from someone else.
It would absolutely end the fact that you can fuck with an anon sub with only 2 accounts. An OP account and another account to do all of the comments on.
So thats simply all I'm suggesting. A way to tell if an anon posts multiple times in the same anon thread.

We have the code for this already, it is just that the performance on it is horrible and a bit buggy based on concurrency issues and cache.
I agree with everything you state and we will address this when we can.

Wow, that's great to hear, thanks!

We already have that option. You can anonomyize posts in a subverse. If people liked it, more people would do it.

Thats not what I'm talking about. On voat, in an anon thread each post is anon. Theres no way to tell if the same user is posting multiple times in the same thread. On 4chan you can see the previous posts an anon made in the same thread. I'm suggesting switching to that for the reasons I stated in my OP.

If I'm posting in an Anon thread and I remember I like to post my user name at the bottom

I'd also like a block all 'Anon' posts. Why should waste my time reading someone who doesn't even have the balls to use their fake user name on their posts.

It's about informational priority. Anchoring a name to a passage of information leaves open another vector of understanding and also potentional corruption.
Maybe you haven't spent as much time on chans as you think you have.
UsedToBeCujoQuarrel ago
I haven't spent ANY time on the chans. I just don't want to see Anon posts since they are about 99% crap ... "I cut my toenails today"
If you want them fine but give me a way to opt out.

I realized that line was meant for the OP and not you. My bad.
VicariousJambi ago
If you meant to reply to the thread then I would respond by saying that I'm not advocating removing anon posting. I'm advocating changing it from every single post in a thread is anon to being able to tell whos posting in a thread multiple times. Samfeagging.
NotHereForPizza ago
Meh, I think I got a little confused or something.
UsedToBeCujoQuarrel ago
Well I know I'm an idiot so there. I will reiterate
I don't care if there are anon posts
I just don't want to see them
VicariousJambi ago
Yeah I'd like that option too. Sometimes anon posting is alright, but most of the time its just a shit show.
UsedToBeCujoQuarrel ago
By people with no balls.
The two main things I'd like on VOAT is that and a real block user function. The current block user function doesn't block enough or very well. If I block someone I want it to be like they never existed.
