People just don't like anything which de-anonimizes an anon community, no matter how slight. People are getting more and more concerned about preserving their online privacy in whichever way they can, no matter how small. We might not be able to keep things private from the NSA and the GCHQ, but we should at least be allowed to keep it secret from Case. It isn't much to ask, but now we aren't even allowed that!?

This isn't really an anon community, though. It's a community that allows anon comments. If you want to keep something private, don't post it online.

this thank you.

Nope, never ever again. Case is probably turning over our IPs to our bosses even as we speak with every little thing we've said on here and also selling our IPs to foreign hackers so he can make money off of us.

Given that this is Fandom Secrets, I literally can not tell if you are being sarcastic.

Case is selling our IP addresses to Dan Didio to spam us, because it is the only way DC are going to connect to new readers any time soon.

Hahahahaha. Okay. You got me.

I knew there was something shady about those suspiciously cheerful woopers!

Even when IP logging is off, nothing you say or do here is actually ever private. Nothing you say or do anywhere on the internet is actually ever private. It's an illusion. It always has been.

JFC read the comment before replying, that was implicitly stated that there are only levels of privacy. Case turning the IP tracking on is taking one of those levels away. And it is actually one we can affect and preserve with a little warning.

It's a level that literally does not matter. It's like not going out in public because you're afraid someone might recognize you.

It might not be a level which matters to you, but you are not everyone.

When it comes down to it, anon, Case runs his community how Case wants. It's not something you're ultimately entitled to (and even then he still goes out of his way to try to make it as accommodating as possible for everyone, and believe it or not IP logging is part of that when obnoxious trolls start in).

Now I'm wondering if you're one of those trolls. :|a

(also, I really do not feel like my privacy is being violated by this, even if I were commenting anon, seeing as how in the entire history of f!s Case has never shared anyone's IPs or sold them to anyone or anything like that)

This is a major reason why when people are all "if you can't run it just hand it over to someone else!" or "get another mod" - I CAN'T. That'd be literally handing over these posts with logging on to whoever the next mod is to go through as they please and I wouldn't feel okay with that at all. I don't think people here would be okay with that, either.

(This is why when people say that, I encourage them to start up their own community - this one just ISN'T being handed over, not with all the stuff it has in it.)

:O I never thought of that, but that's really true, isn't it.

It seems pretty trivial on the surface, like "lol what's the worst that could happen, someone finds out you have a boner for ninja turtles or something?" - but people have posted all sorts of stuff here especially in the "help me, GC" threads, including stories of abusive families or suicidal thoughts and a whole bunch of stuff that can be thrown back in their faces.

There's nothing that can legally bind me not to tell, but they're trusting it doesn't go any further, and I'm not going to let it, so yeah.

Paranoid!Anon reporting in, here: I want it made clear that I am NOT the troll upthread who is "freaking" out over the logging.

Vis a vis the logging, I do post when it's on (though not all the time; last week was a bad week; nothing to do with FS, just my own personal heebie jeebies), and, OK, confession here: sometimes I do wake up in the middle of the night and go..."Yeeeeeeah that wasn't the smartest thing to say when logging was on, now was it Paranoid!Anon??" but other than a few eyelid twitches, here and there, I have mostly come to grips with posting, on FS, when IP logging is on.

Let me explain why.

Case's stance on this, as stated above, is exactly why I trust being able to post here when IP logging is on. Yeah, yeah, I'm a sucker for someone who rescues kittens, and am probably stupid, and am probably going to pay like hell for it one day from now, but you know what? It's like this.

At the end of the day, my IP address is geolocated way far away from me, and anyone doing the amount of legwork required to track me, across ALL the IP addresses I have ever had, AND through ALL the physical places I've lived...well, I will already be having other problems with someone like that, in the first place. Though I came close, once (which is WHY I am Paranoid!Anon), and yeah there are people from my church who want my head on a pike, so that's part of it. (Although my family members were physically tracking me at that point, they didn't use the Net/my IP at all. Being tracked by my IP was so low on my priority list at that point, it was underground.)

AFAIK, no one I know IRL or even online outside of FS (I don't run in fandom circles outside of here) even has a clue that I'm on here. So connecting the dots would only happen under a perfect storm of circumstances, that is even less likely to happen, than my being struck by lightning.

TL;DR: I am Paranoid!Anon and I fully endorse the security of posting on Fandomsecrets when IP logging is turned on.

Major respect for that, Case. :)
