Bringing back Annonyboard
Sabb:
idk i just feel like some people have some craving to gossip worse than a sewing club when any sort of anonymity is introduced and i dont personally see any positives to that
in my opinion if you have something that you cant say with your identity known, then its not worth saying to begin with
Tezuni:
I think having ananonymous board is an unhealthy thing because it bypasses personal accountability and as such opens the door to a negative environment.
I agree with coolz, I see no benefits in it.

They end up making malicious threads about a subject that has nothing to do with the community whatsoever. Some would even samefag just so get reactions.

There could be an ID system like /b/ for each thread to so people can't samefag? Not sure how hard it would be to make that though.

Actually, within all of that shit posting, we were all able to actually get our bottled up rage out against members without ruining relationships (unless it was obvious who was posting).

So far I have only heard how it won't be bad.

People can say whats on their mind, talk more freely without having to worry about what's going to happen to them next, they don't need to sugar coat words, it's also a very interesting board, if you guys could forget for a moment about all the spam and stupid shit and think about threads that were actually legitimate you'd see that too.

So let's say no one flames or acts like a total douche anymore via AB, what positives are there I'm also curious because I can't see a single one. Back when it was up there wasn't a single intelligent discussion on the board, I'm not sure what makes anyone think it'll be any different now even if restrictions/regulations were put in place to stop minginess.

The AB was never all about intelligent discussions, its about having any kind of discussions. Also some or perhaps most of intelligent discussions regarding other members or things that otherwise would get you called an asshole, racist, or would make people hold grudges against you were also only possible there and let's not delude ourselves by saying people wouldn't do this, they do and probably always will. Another point I'd like to address is that there were a lot of discussions in AB that had a lot of offensive words and attitudes but the things that they were saying was legit, a lot of you would probably call those threads idiotic, insulting without actually even looking into their meaning, but simply because of bad attitute aka "muh feelings". I just cannot comprehend why do you guys think that after 2 years people would still get offended over the Internet just as easy, I view this community as a mature, responsible and intelligent one so it's hard for me to imagine that people would still get so horribly offended by AB. Also keep in mind that those shit posters would probably be aware that retarded behavior would result in a permanent removal of the board so they would probably be more cautious, unless thats their intent, to close it, but we could add some new features to that board to prevent it but before we do that we need to decide on whether or not we want to bring AB back.

Well then let them have their fun, if they are like that then who cares? Of course the chances are great that at the moment of AB revival there will be much of that but I don't see it lasting for too long.

Of course you can say whatever you want, but if you care about the community and other people which is usually the case, that just isn't going to happen. People will worry about consequences and even if they speak, they will censor themselves as much as possible, so that in itself is a very positive thing that anonymity, it solves that problem.

If someone can't stand negative environment on the Internet because "muh feelings" then I believe they should work on that, negative environment is inevitable on the Internet. They could also just simply stay away from such places if possible.
