Shut down Anonyboards

[Deacon]

But they don't get to choose their IDs, nor can they be linked to the persons. Thus giving them the freedom of anonimity.

Unless said persons give out their IDs to friends, who in turn give them to others.

Not to mention the problem that comes with basing it off of IP's.

If someone posts on their phone, at their friends house, from a wifi hotspot, whatever, they'll be a different ID.

If you can, why not just make it so you can literally log in with your normal forum account? Except when you post, it only shows your name, none of that other stuff. And that way, you can either log in if you want, or not if you don't.

that, along with proxies or just changing your ip when you want a new id

Hhnnnnng guys, you don't read shit.

The ID can only be seen by those with anony administrative power. It's a mean of control, not of self-identification.

Or rather than going to great lengths discussing and implementing reformations and updates to make AB a safe place for discussion, wolf drawing, and the upmost disapproval of penis drawing we could, I don't know, USE THE DISCUSSION THREAD ON THE FORUMS.

Doesn't that just take the anonymous out of it?

I think your talking about the respect free discussion board which I think is basically what we where trying to make when we made the Anon board

No... it's so that people can actually truthfully know when someone replies to something. Whether anyone likes it or not, the anonyboards are basically used to discuss how other members behave and w.e. If someone actually wants to defend themself or explain something, no one will actually know it's them 100% because too many people are pretending to post as others. Being able to log in to post eliminates that. The people who want to stay anonymous will stay anonymous, so no, it doesn't take the anonymity out of it and no, it's not even close to the same as respect free discussion. Just to clear things up or w.e with people actually knowing it's you posting.
And obviously, that suggestion isn't to help moderate lol. Just a suggestion that could help the board imo.
And again, Snivy, coolz said somewhere he can't do that afaik, but idk if he's able to do it now or not.

I'd like to point something else out.

Apparently, people think that I've been samefag posting about people on the AB. I haven't.

So, we have two options.

1. Remove people's ability to damage someone else's reputation, and add the ability for others to counteract this
2. Stop being so fucking retarded and thick-headed that you attribute posts to people based on the writing style.

If you haven't been looking at posts on the AB and assuming that I wrote them, this doesn't apply to you.

It's pitiful that none of you can stop debating long enough to actually fix the immediate problem at hand.

I forgot I made this thread

[Dark Pacifist]

Keep AB that's it
1. It's a great place to just relax or have a laugh esp about what others say about you.
2. It gives a neutral place to attack, troll, and bash each other.
3. The best way of improving it would be to allow posts to be hidden over being generally too offensive.
4. A limit to how much could be posted in a set amount of time by a user could help limit spam.
