ADMIN: Anonymous Posting Reminder

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

This is a general reminder to registered people to log out if you're posting personal stuff anonymously, otherwise anyone can see your user name whether they want to know who you are or not. I've updated the FAQ to this effect.

Graham can we retroactively log posters out if they miss this?

Actually I'm not sure if 'anyone' can see the username or just moderators but Graham and Mark and Sean and Andrew and Sterling and Tracer and I can anyway.

(It has suddenly struck me that we have no women moderators at all :( )

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 12 December 2002 18:22 (twenty-three years ago)

I think that anyone can. I can, anyway.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Thursday, 12 December 2002 18:23 (twenty-three years ago)

I can!

The "Show All Details" link reveals usernames.

Anyone can click "Show All Details", turn it on all the time in the settings.

Tom, you can delete it by selecting "Erase Login Name" and clicking Save on the Edit Message page.

Thanks Graham - I've doctored the thread that led me to worry about this.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to point out that I don't actually think I have moderator status on either board. So, uh, feel free to badmouth me anonymously. Hell, do it right out in the open!

― I am a loser (dirtyvicar), Friday, 13 December 2002 16:35 (twenty-three years ago)

if you're posting personal stuff anonymously

but if you're merely posting bitchy shit to make yourself feel like you're better than me anonymously you should log in as "[email protected]" ok?
